Question

If you rent a canoe for 3 hours, you will pay $45.

Write a linear equation to represent the total cost (y) of renting the canoe for x hours.

Answer 1

y = 15x

Explanation:

I'm assuming there is no up-front cost. This means that per hour, you need to pay $45/3 = $15, since $45 is for 3 hrs.

y = 15x

Hope this helps!
