Members of the Loke Shawnee Club pay $40 per surrmer secson dus$7.50 each time they rent a boat. Nonmembers pay $12.50 eoch methey rent a boot. How many times would both a member andanonmember hove to rent a boat in order to pay the same amount

Sagot :

Ok, so

let 'n' be the number of times the boat has been rented.

Now, the member will pay: 40 + n*7.50

the non-member will pay: 12.50*n

we need to find n so that the member and the non-member would pay the same amount, so we equal both equations:

[tex]40+n\cdot7.50=12.50\cdot n[/tex]

If we solve this equation for n:

5n = 40

and n=8

Therefore, n = 8 times
