Question

While visiting Crimson Lake, Sally decided to go Kayaking. The rangers charge $8.50 per hour in addition to a $25.00 deposit to rent the kayak. If she rented the kayak from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to rent the kayak.

Answer 1

Equation: y=8.5h+25 Answer: $50.50

Explanation:

h= amount of hours

y=total cost

y=8.5h+25

She rented for 3 hours

y=8.5(3)+25

y=25.5+25

y=50.5
