Respuesta :
The total cost is $43.5 and it is obtained from the equation c = 6.5n + 25
Solution:
Given that, while your family is visiting Deep creek lake, you and your mother decide to go boating.
The Rangers charge $6.50 per hour in addition to $25.00 deposit to rent a canoe.
If you wish to rent the canoe from 12:30 to 3:30 PM,
We have to write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to rent the canoe.
Now, we know that,
total cost = charges + rent fee
[tex]\text {Total cost }=\text { number of hours used } \times \$ 6.5 \text { per hour }+\$ 25[/tex]
Let total cost be "c" and number of hours rented be "n"
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{c=n \times 6.50+25} \\\\ {c=6.5 n+25 \rightarrow(1)}\end{array}[/tex]
Now, they used canoe from 12:30 to 3:30, which means 3 hours of time
So, put n = 3 in (1)
c = 6.5(3) + 25
c = 19.5 + 25
c = 43.5
Hence, the total cost is $43.5 and it is obtained from the equation c = 6.5n + 25
