Question

a parking lot charges $5 per hour. which inequality shows cost for less than $30? 5 + h < 30 5h < 30 h - 5 < 30 h + 5 < 30

Explanation:

Step1: Define the cost formula

The cost for parking \( h \) hours at $5 per hour is \( 5h \) (since cost = rate × time).

Step2: Set up the inequality

We need the cost to be less than $30, so the inequality is \( 5h < 30 \).

Answer:

\( 5h < 30 \) (the second option from the top)
