Problema Solution
A family decides to rent a boat for the day while on vacation. The boat's rental rate is $500 for the first two hours and $50 for each additional half hour. Suppose the family can spend $700 dollars for the boat. What inequality represents the number of hours for which they can rent the boat?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the number of hours for which they can rent the boat, x>=0
Since 700 < 2*500 the number of hours x must be smaller than 2 and the inequality is:
500*x <= 700
