Question

It costs $35 per hour to rent a boat at the lake. You also need to pay a $25 fee for safety equipment. You have $200. For how long can you rent the boat?

Answer 1

After paying the safety fee you have $175.


175÷35= 5

You can rent the boat for 5 hours.

Answer 2

5 hours

Explanation:

First you need to consider that you have to pay $25 for safety equipment. You have $200 so you need to subtract the safety equipment fee.

$200-$25 = $175

So with your $175 you can use that for the boat rent.

`(175dollars)/(35dollars/hour) = 5hours`

If you want a complete equation:

`(200dollars-75dollars)/(35 dollars/hour)=5hours`
