The cost to rent a canoe is $15 plus $3.00 per hour. The cost to rent a kayak is $6 plus $5.5 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours (whole number) to rent one or the other so that the canoe is the better deal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4hr

Step-by-step explanation:

$15 + 3=18+3= 21+3= 24+3= 27 at hour 4 (Canoe)

$6+ 5.5= 11.5 +5.5= 17+5.5=22.5+5.5=28 at hour 4 (Kayak)

After 4 hours, The Canoe would be the better deal because the Kayak's prices begins to go a dollar above the Canoe.
