john can rent a life jacket for a flat fee of $6.00 and a canoe for $5.00 per hour. If the total charge is $41.00, how many hours did he rent the canoe
please help
Total cost will be fixed fee + hourly fee* hours
41 = 6 + 5 * h
41 = 6 + 5h subtract 6 from both sides
35 = 5h divide both sides by h
h = 7 hours
