Question

Parabola Skate Rental rents skate boards for $4.50 per hour with a rental fee of $35. Arc of Hawk Skate Rental rents skate boards for $5.25 per hour with a rental fee of $25

Answer 1

Answer: It will cost the same for both facilities when they skate for 13.33 hours. The total cost will be $95

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4.50x + 35

y = 5.25x + 25

Use substitution to solve:

4.50x + 35 = 5.25x + 25

-4.50x           -4.50x        

             35 = 0.75x + 25

            -25                -25

             10  = 0.75x

        ÷0.75  ÷0.75  

         13.33 = x

y = 4.50(13.33) + 35

  = 60 + 35

  = 95
