around 1-2 i’m not sure , because 15+4=19 , meaning if she has 27 she can use a bike for around one hour and a half or two. another way to check is by 27/19 = around 1.42 so it would be either an hour and a half or an hour and forty minutes .

The number of hours she can rent the bicycle and not spend more than $27 is 3hours.

How to write an inequality equation?

  • Total amount Maggie wants to spend = $27
  • Fixed charge = $15
  • Hourly charge = $4
  • Number of hours = x

The inequality;

15 + 4x ≤ 27

4x ≤ 27 - 15

4x ≤ 12

x ≤ 12/4

x ≤ 3 hours

Therefore, the number of hours she can rent the bicycle and not spend more than $27 is 3hours
