Question

It costs $7.15 to rent a kayak for 1 hour at a local state park. The price per hour stays the same for up to 5 hours of rental. After 5 hours, the cost decreases to $5.75 per hour.

How much would it cost to rent a kayak for 6 hours?

Answer 1

$35.90

Explanation:

(5.75 • 5) + 7.15

= (5 • 5) + (0.75 • 5) + 7.15

= (25 + 3.75) + 7.15

= 28.75 + 7.15

= (28 + 7) + (0.75 + 0.15)

= 35 + 0.90

= $35.90

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

$41.50

Explanation:

multiply $7.15 by 5 for every hour then add the $5.75 to show how it decreased which will give you $41.50 for 6 hours
