Leah Gaines · Answer 1

A. 4 hours

If u subtract 200-75 u get 125 and if u divide that by 30 u get 4.1 ... so u round it to 4 and that's ur answer

Elisabeth Donovan · Answer 2

A 4 hours

This is because if you create the equation using $75 which is the starting fee and then $30 for every hour of playing music.

Equation: 75+30h<200

You subtract 75 from 200 and the divide that number by 200 you will get a decimal but you look at your answer choices and choose the closest number to your answer.
