Two beach rental companies compared their sales from last weekend. Both companies rent out jet skis and kayaks, and they charge the same prices. Will's Watersports made a total of $780 from renting 12 jet skis and 9 kayaks. Family Fun Rentals made a total of $570 from renting 7 jet skis and 11 kayaks. What is the cost of each type of rental?

To rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both shops charge the same amount for each kind of vehicle, we will assign variables to the their cost. The cost of a jet ski will be "x" and the cost of the kayak will be "y". Therefore we can create a system of equations as shown below:

Will's shop:

12*x + 9*y = 780

Fun Rentals:

7*x + 11*y = 570

We can isolate "x" on the second equation, we have:

Applying this value on the first equation:

Applying the value of "y" we found on the "x" equation above, we have:

Therefore to rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20
