Question

At a campground, kayak rental company A charges a fixed amount of $10 plus $8 per hour for renting a one-person kayak. Company B charges a fixed amount of $6 plus $10 per hour for a one-person kayak.

Answer 1

2hours

Explanation:

Given data

Company A

charges a fixed amount of $10 plus $8 per hour

let the number of hours be x

and the total be y

y= 10+8x----------------1

Company B

charges a fixed amount of $6 plus $10 per hour for a one-person kayak.

let the number of hours be x

and the total be y

y= 6+10x----------------2

Equate 1 and 2 above

10+8x= 6+10x

collcet like terms

10-6= 10x-8x

4= 2x

x= 2hours

Hence after 2 hours the charges will be the same
