Therefore Jet Skis cost $50 for the rental and Kayaks cost $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they both rent the vehicles at the same price, "x" for jet skis and "y" for kayaks", we can create equations for each store and a system of equations for these, as shown below:

Watersports:

12*x + 9*y = 780

Fun Rentals:

7*x + 11*y = 570

System:

$\left \{ {{12*x + 9*y=780} \atop {7*x + 11*y=570}} \right.$

We can isolate "x" on the first equation:

$x = \frac{780 - 9*y}{12}$

And use it on the second:

$7*[\frac{780 - 9*y}{12}] + 11*y = 570\\5460 -63*y = 6840 - 132*y\\132*y - 63*y = 6840 - 5460\\69*y = 1380\\y = 20\\$

We can now use this value to find "x":

$x = \frac{780 - 9*20}{12} = 50$

Therefore Jet Skis cost $50 for the rental and Kayaks cost $20.
