Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 4 hours.

Let y represent the total renting fee for x hours.

Wavy Dave's charges $17.50 per hour plus a $20 fuel fee. Hence:

y = 17.5x + 20

Sun'N'Fun charges $15.00 per hour plus a $30 fuel fee. Hence:

y = 15x + 30

For Sun'N'Fun to be cheaper than Wavy Dave's:

15x + 30 < 17.5x + 20

10 < 2.5x

4 < x

x > 4

Hence,  Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 4 hours.
