Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A canoe rental service charges a transportation fee and $8 an hour to rent a canoe. Mary and Joe rented a canoe for 6 hours, and the total cost was $68.

To calculate the transportation fee, first, we need to calculate the total rent cost for 6 hours.

Rent cost= 6*8= $48

Now, the transportation fee:
