Answer explanation
Choice D is correct. The cost of the rental fee depends on the number of hours the surfboard is rented. Multiplying hours by dollars per hour yields a rental fee of dollars. The total cost of the rental consists of the rental fee plus the dollar service fee, which yields a total cost of dollars. Since the person intends to spend a maximum of dollars to rent the surfboard, the total cost must be at most dollars. Therefore, the inequality represents this situation.
Choice A is incorrect. This represents a situation where the rental fee, not the total cost, is at most dollars.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
