We know that reservation fees of the meeting room = 38 dollars
Additional fees per hour = 8.40 dollars
Club wants to spend less than 96.80 dollars
Let t is the number of hours room is rented.
Thus, we have the inequality:
38 + 8.40 t < 96.80
8.40 t < 96.80 38
8.40 t < 58.8
t < 58.8 8.40
t < 7 h o u r s
Hence by spending less than 96.80 dollars, film club can rent the meeting room for less than 7 hours.
