When handling problems of this nature make sure you setup the equations.
x = number of times they rent a boat.
Members
Cost = 105 + 9.50x
Non members because members don't have to pay the 105 we leave it out.
Cost = 14.75x
so now to determin when cost would be equal we set the two equations = to each other
105 + 9.50x = 14.75x
now solve for x
105 = 5.25x
20 = x
so they would have to rent 20 times to equal each other.
3.4*10^-4
hope this helps!!
<em>Option 2 </em>
<em />
It's just the black part and the empty square under which is 1/2 and the red square with the empty square under is 1/2 so it's 1/2 x 1/2
you could either multiply straight away or you could simplify right then so that you wouldn't have to it later.
20/5 * 5/2
your answer would be 10 either way
