At a lake, there are 2 boat rental shops. Shop A charges $210 for a 4-hour rental, shop B charges $238 for a 6-hour rental. Which shop charges more per hour? Also, how much more expensive is this shop?
I answered your previous questions. Now it's your turn.
How do you think you should solve this problem?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
I think i should divide 4-hour rental into $21o and divide 6-hour rental into $228. then compare, which would make shop B more expensive... right?
What does each shop charge per hour?
To determine which shop charges more per hour, we can compare the rates of the two shops.
First, we need to calculate the hourly rate for each shop. To do this, we divide the total cost by the number of hours:
For Shop A: $210 / 4 hours = $52.50 per hour
For Shop B: $238 / 6 hours = $39.67 per hour
From the calculations, we can see that Shop A charges $52.50 per hour, while Shop B charges $39.67 per hour.
To find out how much more expensive Shop A is compared to Shop B, we calculate the difference in their hourly rates:
$52.50 - $39.67 = $12.83
Therefore, Shop A charges $12.83 more per hour than Shop B.
