Answer :
The group rents 11 person tubes and 4 cooler tubes.
Let the no. of person tubes = x
Let the no. of cooler tubes = y
According to question,
Total no. of tubes = 15
Therefore, x + y = 15 ......... (I)
Cost of one person tube = $ 20
Cost of x person tube = 20x
Cost of one cooler tube = $ 12.50
Cost of y cooler tube = 12.5y
According to question,
Total cost = $ 270
Therefore, 20x + 12.5y = 270 .......... (II)
By solving equation (I) and (II), we get
x = 11
y = 4
Hence, The group rents 11 person tubes and 4 cooler tubes.
