Accepted Solution
A:
In this case, Maria is rent a kayaks that charge a $10 upfront fee, with an hourly rate of $7.50. Then the equation of the price should look like this: f(x)= 10+7.5x
If Maria has a total money of 70$, then the duration of rent should be: f(x)= 10+7.5x 70= 10+ 7.5x 7.5x= 70-10 x= 60/7.5= 8 hours
