Snorkel and two friends rented three life jackets and a sailboat. The life jackets were $3 each and the boat was $12 an hour. The total cost was $93. For how many hours did they rent the sailboat?

(I need an equation along with the answer.)

Verified Answer :

3 life jackets @ $3.00= $9.00
1 sailboat @ $12.00/hr
Total cost = $93.00
93-9= 84
84/12= 7
7 hours

Answer:

The equation is hr= (TC-Pxjx)/Pxs

They rent the sailboat for 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to get the total cost, that will be the price of the jackets multiple by the quantity of person + the price of the rent of the  sailboat multiple by the quantity of hour.

The equation will be:

Total cost= price of the jackets the quantity of person + the price of the rent of the  sailboat the quantity of hour.

Price of the jackets=Pxj = $3

The quantity of person= x= 3

The price of the rent of the  sailboat= Pxs=$12

The quantity of hour= hr=?

TC=Pxjx +Pxshr

hr= (TC-Pxjx)/Pxs

hr=  (93-$3*3)/$12

hr= ($93-$9)/$12

hr= ($84)/$12= 7 hr
