Given:
To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of
$41 and an additional fee of $5.90per hour
Let t the number of the meeting room is rented
So, the total rent fee = 5.9t + 41
The chemistry club wants to spend less than $76.40on renting the meeting room.
So, we have the following inequality:
[tex]5.9t+41<76.4[/tex]solve the inequality to find t:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.9t<76.4-41 \\ 5.9t<35.4 \\ t<\frac{35.4}{5.9} \\ t<6 \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the answer will be in interval notation:
[tex]t=(0,6)[/tex]
