Question

Hi, Can you help me out pls? A rental company charges $15 plus $4 per hour to rent a bicycle. If Marley does not want to spend more than $27 for her rental, WRITE and SOLVE an inequality (in the space below) to find how many hours she can rent the bicycle and not spend more than $27. Please show your work

Answer 1

In my example y = hours

15 • y + 4 is less than or equal to 27

subtract the 4

15 • y is less than or equal to 23

divide the 15

y is less than or equal to 23/15

she can rent her bike for 1 hour
