The initial cost to rent a bike in hilton head is $4. Each hour the bike is rented costs $1.75. Vince is going to rent a bike and can spend at most $18. Write and solve an inequality to find how long he can rent the bike without going over his budget.

he can rent the bike for at most 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that Vince can rent the bike without going over his budget.

The initial cost to rent a bike in hilton head is $4. Each hour the bike is rented costs $1.75. This means that the cost of renting the bike for x hours would be

1.75x + 4

Vince is going to rent a bike and can spend at most $18. The inequality is expressed as

1.75x + 4 ≤ 18

1.75x ≤ 18 - 4

1.75x ≤ 14

x ≤ 14/1.75

x ≤ 8

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
