Answer:
The Linear equation is [tex]Total \ Cost = 25+6.5h[/tex]
The Total Cost to rent canoe is $44.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
deposit to rent a canoe = $25.00
Hourly charge for visiting deep creek lake = $6.50 per hour
we need to rent the canoe from 12:30 to 3:30 PM.
We need to find the total cost to rent the canoe.
Now Total number of hours (h) 12:30 to 3:30 PM = 3 hours
Hence Total Cost will be equal to deposit to rent a canoe plus Hourly charge for visiting deep creek lake multiplied by number of hours to visit.
Hence framing in equation form we get;
Total Cost to rent canoe = [tex]25+6.5\times h[/tex]
hence the Linear equation is [tex]Total \ Cost = 25+6.5h[/tex]
Solving the equation we get;
Total Cost = [tex]25+6.5\times3 =25 +19.5 = \$44.5[/tex]
Hence the Total Cost to rent canoe is $44.5.
