Damien wants to go fishing on the lake. He can rent gear for $20 and the boat will cost $12 per hour. He only has $78 to spend, so what is the maximum number of
hours (full hours) that he can afford to fish?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = hours

$78 = $20 + $12x

collect like terms

78 - 20 = 12x

58 = 12x

x = 4.8 hours

the maximum hours is 4 hours
