Nicole is hosting a large bridal shower for her friend and has $396 in her budget to rent a facility. The facility she chose for the party requires an $72 deposit plus $60 per hour. If there is no damage to the facility, one-half of the deposit is refunded. If Nicole expects to get the deposit refund, for how many hours can she rent the facility for the bridal shower?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicole starts with the budget:

$395

Now, she only expects to pay half the deposit;

$72 ÷ 2 = $36

Subtract this from the budget:

$395 - $36 = $359

Divide by cost per hour:

$359 ÷ $60 = 5.983333... (3 repeating)

This means, Nicole can rent a maximum of 5 hours with her budget. The inequality would be
