Question

The Mitchells are renting a boat for the day. It costs $100, plus $20 for each hour. They have to pay for a whole hour even if they are not out there for a whole hour. For example if they boat for 3 and a half hours, they have to pay for 4 hours.

They don't want to spend more than $250 for the day. How many hours can they boat? Write an inequality and solve.
A)
100 + 20x ≤ 250. They can boat for 7 hours.
B)
100 + 20x ≥ 250. They can boat for 8 hours.
C)
100 + 20x ≤ 250. They can boat for 8 hours.
D)
100 + 20x ≥ 250. They can boat for 7 hours.
