Delia spent $250 to rent a boat for 6 hours. The rental company charges a base rate of $150 for the first two hours, and then an hourly rate for each additional hour. How much does each additional hour of boat rental cost?

To find out the cost of each additional hour of boat rental, we first need to determine how many additional hours are being rented for.
Delia rented the boat for a total of 6 hours. The rental company charges a base rate of $150 for the first two hours. So, for the first two hours, Delia paid $150.
Therefore, Delia rented the boat for a total of 6 - 2 = 4 additional hours.
Since Delia paid a total of $250 to rent the boat for 6 hours, and since she paid $150 for the first two hours, the total cost of the additional 4 hours is $250 - $150 = $<<250-150=100>>100.
To find out how much each additional hour costs, we need to divide the total cost of the additional 4 hours by the number of additional hours.
Therefore, each additional hour of boat rental costs $100 / 4 = $<<100/4=25>>25.
So, the answer is $25.
To find out the cost of each additional hour of boat rental, we need to subtract the base rate from the total cost and then divide that by the number of additional hours.
The base rate for the first two hours is $150. So, the cost of the additional hours would be $250 - $150 = $100.
Since the boat was rented for a total of 6 hours and the first 2 hours were covered by the base rate, there are 6 - 2 = 4 additional hours.
To calculate the cost of each additional hour, we divide the additional cost ($100) by the number of additional hours (4).
$100 / 4 = $25
Therefore, each additional hour of boat rental costs $25.
To find out how much each additional hour of boat rental costs, we need to subtract the base rate from the total cost and divide it by the number of additional hours.
The base rate for the first two hours is $150.
The total cost of the rental is $250.
So, the cost for the additional hours is $250 - $150 = $100.
Since the rental is for 6 hours and the base rate covers the first 2 hours, there are 6 - 2 = 4 additional hours.
Therefore, the cost for each additional hour is $100 / 4 = $25.
Therefore, each additional hour of boat rental costs $25.
Solve the equation for y.
-1/5y + 3 = -7
50
-35
15
55
To solve the equation for y, we will isolate the variable y by performing the necessary algebraic operations.
First, let's move the constant term, 3, to the right side of the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-1/5y = -7 - 3
-1/5y = -10
Next, we need to eliminate the coefficient -1/5 in front of y. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of -1/5, which is -5/1 or simply -5. Multiplying both sides by -5 gives us:
(-5) * (-1/5y) = (-5) * (-10)
y = 50
Therefore, the value of y is 50.
Darcy and JoJo are decorating cupcakes for a party. Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes which is 2 more than 1/3 the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates. How many cupcakes does JoJo decorate?
18

30

Let's say the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates is represented by the variable x.
According to the information given, Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates. This can be written as the equation:
8 = (1/3)x + 2
To solve for x, we can subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
8 - 2 = (1/3)x
6 = (1/3)x
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 or simply 3:
6 * (3/1) = (1/3)x * (3/1)
18 = x
Therefore, JoJo decorates 18 cupcakes.
When multiplying two rational numbers, how is the sign of the product determined?
The product is positive if the signs of the factors are the same.
The product is negative if the signs of the factors are the same.
The sign of the product is always the same as the larger factor.
The sign of the product is always the same as the smaller factor.
The correct answer is: The product is positive if the signs of the factors are the same.
