Natalie is going mountain biking. She can buy a bike for $250 or she can rent a bike for $30 an hour. In both cases, she must also rent a helmet for $5 an hour. Which inequality shows the number of hours Natalie must bike for the cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike?

Given :

Natalie is going mountain biking. She can buy a bike for $250 or she can rent a bike for $30 an hour.

In both cases, she must also rent a helmet for $5 an hour.

To Find :

Which inequality shows the number of hours Natalie must bike for the cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike.

Solution :

Let, after t hours total money required is ( if she rent bike ).

T = 30t.

Money required to purchase bike , M = $250.

For cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike :

Hence, this is the required solution.

the equation is not included but the answer is (1.50, 2.00, 2.75)
