25h = 20h + 15
Solve for h.
Yes, I can help you with that. To find the number of hours for which the total charges for both companies would be the same, we need to set up and solve an equation.
Let's start with Al's Rentals. They charge $25.00 per hour for renting a sailboard and a wet suit. For h hours, the total charge would be 25 * h.
Now let's move on to Wendy's Rentals. They charge $20.00 per hour for renting a sailboard and an extra $15.00 for a wet suit. So, for h hours, the total charge would be 20 * h + 15.
To find the number of hours for which the total charges for both companies would be the same, we need to set up an equation:
25h = 20h + 15
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of h. Let's do that:
25h - 20h = 15
5h = 15
h = 15 / 5
h = 3
Therefore, the number of hours for which the total charges for both companies would be the same is 3 hours.
