    Answer: she can rent a boat or 2 hrs and 30 mins

    Step-by-step explanation:

    60+10=70

    70+60=130

    130+60=190

    190+30=220

    In this question, we're trying to find how many hours Maria can rent the boat for.

    We know that the boat rental costs $60 per hour

    We also know that she has to pay a one-time fee of $10 for a safety course

    Turn this into a equation:

    y = 60x + 10

    However, she doesn't want to spent no more than $230. Add that to your equation

    230 = 60x + 10

    Solve the equation to see how many hours she can rent the boat for.

    230 = 60x + 10

    Subtract 10 from both sides

    220 = 60x

    Divide both sides by 60

    3.67 = x

    Since the boat can ONLY be rented by whole hours. With the money Maria has, she can only rent the boat for 3 hours.

    Answer:

    3 hours
