Jake and his friends went to the Dye Storm paint-tag course to celebrate the end of the 6 school semester. The course charges $36\$ 36 for an hour of group tag plus a rental fee for each paint marker. Jake's group played for one hour, rented 5 paint markers, and paid a total of $86\$ 86.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The total cost for Jake's group is \$86.
2. The cost for one hour of group tag is \$36.
3. There is a rental fee for each paint marker.
4. Jake's group rented 5 paint markers.
5. We need to find the cost of renting each paint marker.

STEP 2

1. Define a variable for the unknown cost.
2. Write an equation that models the total cost.
3. Solve the equation for the unknown variable.

STEP 3

Define a variable for the unknown cost. Let x x be the cost to rent each paint marker.

STEP 4

Write an equation that models the total cost. The total cost is the sum of the cost for one hour of group tag and the cost of renting 5 paint markers.
36+5x=86 36 + 5x = 86

STEP 5

Solve the equation for the unknown variable. Start by isolating the term with the variable.
Subtract 36 from both sides:
5x=8636 5x = 86 - 36 5x=50 5x = 50

STEP 6

Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x x :
x=505 x = \frac{50}{5} x=10 x = 10
The cost to rent each paint marker is:
10 \boxed{10}
