Question

Marks rents canoes for $20 plus $35 per hour. You don’t not want to spend more then $150. For how many hours can you afford to rent the canoe?

Answer 1

Fixed Price = $20

Variable Price = $35 an hour

Form equation:

Let x be the total number of hours rented

Total cost = 20 + 35x

Solve x:

The amount spent is not more than $150

20 + 35x ≤ 150

35x ≤ 150 - 20

35x ≤ 130

x ≤ 130 ÷ 35

x ≤ 3.72

The maximum number of hours = 3 hours

Answer: Mark can afford to rent the canoe for 3 hours

Answer 2

hey!

here is answer

fixed price= dollar 20


variable price = dollar 35 an hour

let x be total number of hours


total cost=20+35x

the amount spent is not more than dollar 150

20+35x≤150

35x ≤ 150-20

35x ≤130

x ≤130/35

x ≤3.72

hence maximum number of. hours is 3

hope it helps.

thanks
