Question

Brianna wants to use a pontoon boat on Saturday at the lake. She has exactly

$200 to spend on the boat rental. The rental is $30 an hour plus a $80 deposit.
How many hours can she rent the pontoon boat for? Create and solve an
equation for this situation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

She has 200

80 deposit - 200= 120 left to spend

80+30h=200

If she has 120 left to spend at 30 hr, she could have the boat for 4 hrs

80+30h=200 subtract 80 from both sides

30h=120 divide by the 30

h=4
