2) To rent a boat it costs $11 plus an additional $10 per hour. If you have $71, write and solve an equation to determine how many hours (h) you can rent the boat.

Answer 1

Let C be the cost of the rental:

C = 11 + 10h , where h is the number of hours charged

71 >= 11 + 10h

60 >= 10h

h <= 6

So, the maximum hours is 6 hours
