Question

Tyra's family is spending the afternoon in Millersville. They plan to see a movie and then explore

the town. The movie will cost the family $36, and parking costs $4 per hour.
How long will the family be able to spend in Millersville if they want to spend less than $60 and
they don't have any other expenses?
Follow the steps to answer this question.
1. Write an inequality that shows that Tyra's family spends less than their limit. Explain how you
wrote the inequality, and define any variables used.
2. Solve your inequality. Show your work. What does your solution mean?

Answer 1

Answer: 36+4h=60

36+4h-36=60-36

4h=24

4h÷4=24÷4

h=6

So, after the move they can spend 6 hours there. (6×4=24, 24+36=60, they will spend $60 if they spend 6 hours there, $56 if they spend 5 hours there and don't want to spend $60).
