let member rented skis= x
member rented snowboard=28-x
As per problem 16*x+(28-x)19=478
⇒ 3x=532-478=54
⇒ x=18
members rented ski is 18
and members rented snowboard is 28-18=10
member rented snowboard=28-x
As per problem 16*x+(28-x)19=478
⇒ 3x=532-478=54
⇒ x=18
members rented ski is 18
and members rented snowboard is 28-18=10
