The Mitchell family is renting a boat for the day. The boat rental has a flat fee of $100 plus $20 for each hour. They have to p
ay for a whole hour even if they are not out on the lake for a whole hour. For example, if they rent the boat for 3 and one-half hours, they have to pay for 4 hours.
If they want to spend $250 or less on the boat rental for the day, how many hours can they rent the boat? Write an inequality and solve.
A) 100 + 20x ≤ 250; They can boat for 7 hours.
B) 100 + 20x ≥ 250; They can boat for 8 hours.
C) 100 + 20x ≤ 250; They can boat for 8 hours.
D) 100 + 20x ≥ 250; They can boat for 7 hours.

Answer: The distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.
Explanation:
Length of platform = 40.75 feet
Length of bench = 7.05 feet
Let the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform be x
So, it becomes x+7.05+x = 40.75
⇒2x+7.05= 40.75
⇒2x = 40.75- 7.05
⇒x = 33.7
⇒x=
⇒x= 16.85 feet .
So, the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.
