Billy’s Boat Rentals charges a yearly fee of $105 and $9.50 each time a member wants to rent a boat. Lisa’s Boat Rentals does not charge a yearly fee but charges $14.75 every time a member rents a boat. How many times does a person have to rent a boat for Billy’s and Lisa’s to cost the same amount?

It will take 20 times for both cost to be same

Step-by-step explanation:

What we want to do here is to calculate the number of times it will take someone who’s wants to rent a boat by Billyboat will be able to rent Lisa boat.

The first thing to do here is calculate how much that is charged to rent Billyboats

That would be;

Let the number of times be n

so the amount will be

105 + 9.50n

Now, renting at 14.75 at n times would be 14.75n

Mathematically, we equate both

14.75n = 105 + 9.5n

14.75n - 9.5n = 105

5.25n = 105

n = 105/5.25

n = 20 times
