Jake spent a three-day weekend on the lake. On Saturday, he rented a pontoon boat for three hours and paid $435. On Sunday, he rented the same boat for five hours and it cost him $625. If he rented the same boat on Monday for just two hours, what is the cost for Jake to rent the pontoon boat for the entire three-day weekend?

Final answer:

The total cost for Jake to rent the pontoon boat for the entire three-day weekend, based on an estimated average hourly rate of $135, was $1330.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to determine the hourly rate for the pontoon boat rental. We can use the information given for the Saturday and Sunday rentals to calculate this:

1. Saturday: $435 for 3 hours, or $435 / 3 = $145 per hour
2. Sunday: $625 for 5 hours, or $625 / 5 = $125 per hour

These two rates are different, so it's possible that a higher rate was charged for shorter rental times. To calculate the average, we add the two rates and divide by 2, giving us an average hourly rate of $135.

Finally, to calculate Jake's total cost for the weekend, we assume that the Monday rental also had the same $135 per hour rate, and multiply this rate by 2 hours. This gives us a Monday cost of $270. Adding this to the Saturday and Sunday costs, Jake's total cost for the three-day weekend was $435 + $625 + $270 = $1330.

Answer: $1400 for the total 3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A= (3,435)

B= (5,625)

625-435 190

M= ————— = —— = 95

5-3 2

Y- 435= 95(x-3)

Y - 435= 95x - 285

Y= 95x + 150

95(2) + 150

190 + 150

= $340 for Monday

Finally,

435 + 625 + 340= $1400 for 3 days
