Answer:
Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total bill is represented by the formula r(h) = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h,
where h is the number of hours over which the canoe is rented.
If the total bill is $70, then $70 = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h.
Solve this for h. Start by subtracting $10 from both sides, obtaining:
$60 = ($7.50/hour)h.
Dividing both sides by ($7.50/hour), we get:
$60
h = --------------------- = 8 hours
($7.50/hour)
Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.
