To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $18 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend less than $84 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer

The total cost for renting the room is given by the equation: 18 + 6t, where t is the number of hours.

We want this cost to be less than $84:

18 + 6t < 84

Subtract 18 from both sides:

6t < 66

Divide both sides by 6:

t < 11

Therefore, the chemistry club can rent the room for less than 11 hours.
