Answer: Laura can spend up to 9 hours in the boat.
Explanation:
Lets say that T represents the number of hours.
1. Set up an equation to represent the situation.
2. Add the discount to the amount of money Laura wants to spend.
3. Divide the sum by the cost per hour to get your answer.
=> 8t - 3 ≤ 69
=> 8t ≤ 72
=> t ≤ 9
I might be wrong but I hope this helps :’)
