Let
x: pay of parasailing per hour
y: pay of horseback riding per hour:
We have the following system of equations:
2x + 5y = 205
3x + 3y = 240
Solving the system we have
6x + 15y = 615
6x + 6y = 480
Subtracting both equations:
9y = 135
y = $ 15 / h
Then,
x = (1/2) * (- 5y + 205)
x = (1/2) * (- 5 * (15) +205)
x = 65 $ / h
you want to go parasailing for 1 hour and horseback riding gor 2 hours
x + 2y
65 + 2 * (15) = 95 $
answer
you expect to pay $ 95 for 1 hour and horseback riding gor 2 hours
