Problema Solution
Members of the lake Shawnee club pay $40 per summer season plus $7.50 each time they rent a boat. nonmembers pay $12.50 each time they rent a boat. How many times would both a member and a nonmember have to rent a boat on order to pay the same amount
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'n' be the number of times the boat has been rented
the member will pay: 40 + n*7.50
the non-member will pay: 12.50*n
we need to find n so that the member and the non-member would pay the same amount
40 + n*7.50 = 12.50*n
by solving we find
n = 8 times
