Question 84448: The rental cost of a jet ski from Nola's place is $15.00 per 15 minutes and the cost from Berkmans is $25.00 per half hour. If you plan to rent a jet ski for 2 hours, which is the better deal and by how much?

Convert everything to hours
N = cost to rent at Nola's
B = cost to rent at Berkman's
h = hours rented
15 min is .25 hour
30 min is .5 hour
N = (15/.25 hrs)(h)
N = 60h
----------------
B = (25/.5 hr)(h)
B = 50h
So, if h = 2 hrs
N = 60*2
N = 120
and
B = 50*2
B = 100
Berkman's is cheaper by $20
