Answer 1

Answer:

$8t-3<37$ such that $t<5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Nicole rent a boat for t hours.

Cost of boat per hour $=\ 8$

Discount coupon is of $\ 3$

Total amount of rent is equal to $8t-3$

As Nicole spends less than $37,

$8t-3<37$

Now solve d the inequality.

$8t-3<37\\8t<37+3\\8t<40\\t<\frac{40}{8} \\t<5$
