Answer 1

To find the cost for each additional hour of boat rental, we can break down the total cost.

1. The base rate for the first 2 hours is $150.
2. Delia rented the boat for 6 hours, which means she rented it for 4 additional hours (6 hours - 2 hours = 4 hours).
3. The total cost for the rental was $250.

Now, we can calculate the cost for the 4 additional hours:

Total cost - Base rate = Cost for additional hours $250 - $150 = $100

Now, we divide the cost for the additional hours by the number of additional hours:

Cost per additional hour = Cost for additional hours ÷ Number of additional hours Cost per additional hour = $100 ÷ 4 hours = $25

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