Casa Lucia charges a $200 one-time rental fee plus $500 per hour. The Silver Fox charges $200 per hour plus a $1,100 one-time rental fee.

Answer:

number of hours = 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours

Casa Lucia = 200 + 500x

Silver Fox = 1,100 + 200x

To solve the equation, equate both cost of rent

Casa Lucia = Silver Fox

200 + 500x = 1,100 + 200x

200 - 1,100 = 200x - 500x

-900 = - 300x

x = -900 / -300

x = 3 hours

number of hours = 3 hours

The solution to the system of equations in this real-world context represents the number of hours both locations can be rented with the same cost.

It means both locations cost the same if rented for 3 hours each
