Question

Renting a canoe costs $5.00 per hour for each adult and $2.50 per hour for each child. One adult and two children decide to rent a canoe. What is an equation that shows the relationship between cost c in dollars and time t in hours ?

Answer 1

The equation is equal to
`c=10t`

Explanation:

Let

c-----> the cost in dollars

t----> the time in hours

we know that

One adult and two children

`c=(1)5t+(2)2.5t\\ \\c=5t+5t\\ \\c=10t`
