Question

Renting a jet ski at Jerry's Water sports cost $20.00 per hour plus a one-time fee of $8.00. Renting jet skis from splash of fun costs $25.00 per hour with no one-time fee. the cost to rent a jet ski depends on the total number of hours, h, rented. How many hours must you rent a jet ski for the cost to be the same at jerry's water sport and at splash of fun?

Answer 1

1.6 hours

Explanation:

The computation of the number of hours is shown below:

For water sports

= 20x + 8

And,For splash of fun

= 25x

Now the cost of both would be same

i.e.

20x + 8 = 25x

8 = 5x

x = 1.6 hours
