Question 1141690: a beach bike shop rents two kind of bikes. the adult bikes cost $6.00 per hour to rent and the childrens bikes cost $3.50 per hour to rent. if the bike shop makes $280 in one day and rented a total of 55 bikes. What is the system of equation that models this situation?

.
The system is THIS


 x +     y =  55     (1)

6x + 3.50y = 280     (2)


where x is the number of adult rented bikes and y is the number of children rented bikes.
