Question

It costs $35 per hour to rent a boat at the lake. You also need to pay a $25 fee for safety equipment. You have $200. For how long can you rent the boat?

Answer 1

After paying the safety fee you have $175. 


175÷35= 5

You can rent the boat for 5 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to consider that you have to pay $25 for safety equipment. You have $200 so you need to subtract the safety equipment fee.

$200-$25 = $175

So with your $175 you can use that for the boat rent.

$\dfrac{175dollars}{35dollars/hour} = 5hours$

If you want a complete equation:

$\dfrac{200dollars-75dollars}{35 dollars/hour}=5hours$
