    Answer: the Jones family paid $164

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the one time charge that smith lake boat rentals charge for cleaning.

    The bengal family rented a boat from 11 am - 6:30pm and paid $226.50. This means that the number of hours for which they rented the boat is

    11 - 6:30 / = 7.5 hours

    Therefore,

    25 * 7.5 + x = 226.5

    187.5 + x = 226.5

    x = 226.5 - 187.5

    x = $39

    If the jones family rented a boat from 8am-1pm, the number of hours would be 5 hours.

    The amount that they paid is

    39 + 5 * 25 = 39 + 125

    = $164
