Answer: £16.90

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that it costs £6.50 per hour to hire a tennis court at Meadway Tennis Club but that on Saturdays the cost is 30% more. The cost in Saturdays per hour will then be:

= £6.50 + (30% × £6.50)

= £6.50 + ( 0.3 × £6.50)

= £6.50 + £1.95

= £8.45

The cost to hire a court for 2 hours on a Saturday will then be:

= £8.45 × 2

= £16.90
