The cost to rent a bicycle is $20.00 plus $2.65 per hour that the bicycle is checked out. What is the minimum number of hours a bicycle can be rented if a tourist can spend more than $37.00 but less than $65.00 on the rental? Round your answer to the nearest whole hour that satisfies the inequality.

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Rental cost :

Fixed pay = $20

Hourly cost = 2.65

To obtain the minimum rental hour, we work with the least amount that can be spent ;

For tourist that can spend more than $37 but less than $65

Total cost of rental :

20 + 2.65h ; h = number of hours

When total cost > 37

20 + 2.65h > 37

2.65h > 37 - 20

2.65h > 17

h > 6.415

Hence, the minimum whole hour of bicycke rental is 7 hours
