1. **State the problem:** We want to find the number of hours $h$ for which renting a scooter by the day is cheaper than renting by the hour.
2. **Define the costs:**
- Hourly rental cost: $20h + 10$ (including $10 insurance)
- Daily rental cost: $80 + 10$ (including $10 insurance)
3. **Set up the inequality:**
We want the daily cost to be less than the hourly cost:
$$80 + 10 < 20h + 10$$
4. **Simplify the inequality:**
$$90 < 20h + 10$$
Subtract 10 from both sides:
$$90 - 10 < 20h + \cancel{10} - \cancel{10}$$
$$80 < 20h$$
5. **Solve for $h$:**
Divide both sides by 20:
$$\frac{80}{\cancel{20}} < \frac{20h}{\cancel{20}}$$
$$4 < h$$
6. **Interpretation:**
Renting by the day is cheaper when the number of hours $h$ is greater than 4.
**Final answer:**
It is cheaper to rent by the day if you rent for more than 4 hours.
