Answer 1

To find out how much each additional hour of boat rental costs, we first need to determine how much Delia paid for the first 2 hours.

The base rate for the first 2 hours is $150, so Delia paid $150 for the first 2 hours.

She rented the boat for 6 hours in total and already paid for the first 2 hours, so she paid for an additional 6 - 2 = 4 hours.

She paid a total of $250 for the rental, and she already paid $150 for the first 2 hours, so she paid $250 - $150 = $<<250-150=100>>100 for the additional 4 hours.

To find out how much each additional hour of boat rental costs, we divide the total cost for the additional hours ($100) by the number of additional hours (4): $100 / 4 = $<<100/4=25>>25.

Therefore, each additional hour of boat rental costs $25.
