Yolanda wants to rent a boat and spend less than $41. The boat costs $8 per hour, and Yolanda has a discount coupon for $7 off. What are the possible numbers of hours Yolanda could rent the boat?

A few things to build this problem:
  1. Discount subtracts from our total
  2. Cost = Hourly rate * hours
  3. Less than means an inequality using the < sign
Our inequality is:
8h - 7 < 41

To solve this inequality for h, we type it in our math engine and we get:
h < 6
