You can rent a ski boat for $20 plus $35 per hour. If you want to spend no more than $150, how many hours can you rent a ski boat? Write an inequality and solve to represent this situation.

Answer:

h ≤ (approx) 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we can take our knowledge that we have to spend 20$, at minimum. Therefore, we can only allocate (150-20)=130 to our payment per hour. As we pay 35$ per hour, the amount of money relative to hours would be 35*h. Therefore, as we can allocate 130 dollars or less for our hourly payments, and our money is 35*h, we can day that 35*h(the money we spend on hourly rates) ≤ 130. Then, as 35*h ≤ 130, we can divide 35 from both sides to get h ≤ 130/35, or h ≤ (approx) 3.7
