Question

jeffrey's family starts a kayaking business at Lake Texoma. They purchase 25 kayaks for $186 each. They rent the kayaks for $7.50 per hour. Write a function that shows their profits. How many hours must they rebt their kayaks to make $1,500 profit?​

Answer 1

176 hours

Explanation:

let h be hours

7.50h+180=profit

7.50+180=1500

1500-180=1220

1320/7.50=176

Answer 2

Function: Profit(x) = 187.5*x - 4650

Jeffrey's family would need to rent out all 25 kayaks for approximately 33 hours monthly to make a $1500 profit.

Explanation:

To calculate the profit from renting kayaks, we need to subtract the cost of purchasing them from the revenue generated by renting them out.

Let's assume the kayaks are rented out for x hours a month. Then, the profit made in a month would be:

Profit = (25 * $7.50 * x) - (25 * $186) = $187.50x - $4650

To make a $1500 profit, they would need to rent out all 25 kayaks for approximately 33 hours a month.
