Question

the equation and table show the cost to rent a canoe at two different companies. each company charges a flat fee, plus an hourly rate. company g $c = 27 + 10h$, where $c =$ cost in dollars and $h =$ number of hours rented. company h number of hours: 0, 1, 2, 3; cost ($): 25, 32, 39, 46. how many dollars per hour greater is the hourly rate for company g than company h? use the number pad to enter your answer in the box. $ per hour

Explanation:

Step1: Identify G's hourly rate

From $c=27+10h$, hourly rate is $\$10$.

Step2: Calculate H's hourly rate

Find cost difference per hour: $32-25=7$, $39-32=7$, $46-39=7$. So hourly rate is $\$7$.

Step3: Compute the difference

Subtract H's rate from G's rate: $10-7=3$.

Answer:

$\$3$ per hour
