For a two day rental at the surf shop it costs $45 to rent a surf board and $60 to rent a paddle board. On a certain weekend the surf shop rented 44 total surf boards and paddle boards and made $2265. How many paddle boards were rented?
Answer:
19 paddle boards were rented.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rent of a surf board is $45
And the rent of a paddle board is $60
Total of paddle board and surf board rented were 44
let the paddle board rented be x
Hence, surf board rented will be 44-x
According to question we are given that 44 both  boards were rented means
[tex]45\cdot(44-x)+60\cdot x=2265[/tex]
[tex]1980-45x+60x=2265[/tex]
On solving the above equation we will get:
[tex]15x=285[/tex]
[tex]x=19[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x=19[/tex]
Hence, 19 the paddle boards were rented.
