Answer:

Kayak and Canoe rented for 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time for which they rent canoe & kayak = x hours  

Total canoe cost = 20.49 + 7.49x , Total kayak cost = 17.99 + 5.99x  

Given] Total canoe & kayak cost = 78.92

So, (20.49 + 7.49x) + (17.99 + 5.99x) = 78.92

20.49 + 17.99 + 7.49x + 5.99x =  78.92 ; 38.48 + 13.48x = 78.92

13.48x = 78.92 - 38.48 ; 13.48x = 40.44

x = 40.44 / 13.48 ; x = 3
