The cost to rent a construction crane is $750 per day plus $250 per hour of use. What is the maximum number of hours the crane can be used each day if the rental cost does not exceed $2500 per day?

Write and solve the inequality.

x = 7 ;

Let's use x to represent the number of hours since we don't know that.
750+250x < 2500 Subtract 750 from both sides. 250x < 1750 Divide both sides by 250. x < 7
The most hours that they can do is 7, or it can be less.

The maximum number of hours the crane can be used each day is 7 hours. This is determined by solving the inequality that reflects the cost structure of the crane rental. The total cost, including a daily fee and an hourly fee, must not exceed $2500.
