A family decides to rent a canoe for an entire day. The canoe rental rate is $50 for the first three hours and then 20$ for each additional hour. Suppose the family can spend $110 for the canoe rental. What is the maximum number of hours the family can rent the canoe?
IF we subtract the $50 for the first 3 hours, we get:
110 - 50 = 60 remaining
Each additional hour is 20, so the max number of hours we can rent the canoe is
$60/20 = 3 hours additional plus the original 3 hours is 6 hours
IF we subtract the $50 for the first 3 hours, we get:
110 - 50 = 60 remaining
Each additional hour is 20, so the max number of hours we can rent the canoe is
$60/20 = 3 hours additional plus the original 3 hours is 6 hours
