Answer 1

Given:

Cost to rent a raft = $7 per person

Number of people a raft can hold = 6

Lunch cost = $3 per raft

To find:

The total cost for a group of 6.

Solution:

A raft can hold 6 people. So, one raft is required for group of 6.

Lunch cost = $3

Cost to rent a raft for one person = $7

Cost to rent a raft for 6 person = 6 × $7 = $42

Now,

Total cost = Lunch cost + Cost to rent a raft for 6 person

                = $3 + $42

                = $45

Therefore, the total cost for a group of 6 is $45.
