For a two-day rental at the surf shop, it costs $45 to rent a surf board and $60 to rent a paddle board. on a certain weekend, the surf shop rented 44 total surf boards and paddle boards and made $2265. how many paddle boards were rented?

X = surf boards, y = paddle boards

x + y = 44x = 44 - y
45x + 60y = 2265

45(44 - y) + 60y = 2265
1980 - 45y + 60y = 2265
-45y + 60y = 2265 - 1980
15y = 285
y = 285/15
y = 19 <=== there were 19 paddle boards rented

x + y = 44
x + 19 = 44
x = 44 - 19
x = 25and 25 surf boards rented

25 surf boards and 19 puddle boards were rented.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rent of each surf board = $45

Rent of puddle board = $60

Total boards rented = 44

Total amount = $2265

Let,

x represent the number of surf boards rented

y represent the number of puddle boards rented

According to given statement;

x+y=44     Eqn 1

45x+60y=2265    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 45

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both side by 15

Putting y=19 in Eqn 1

25 surf boards and 19 puddle boards were rented.
