HELP! SUPER URGENT! A water sports store hires out wetsuits and diving equipment. The cost to hire a wetsuit is one-third of the cost to hire diving equipment.

Dave hired both a wetsuit and diving equipment for the same length of time and paid a total of $144.

How much did he pay for the hire of the wetsuit in dollars?

Let the cost of hiring diving equipment be X

Given,

cost of hiring diving equipment=X

cost of hiring wet suit =1/3 of X

Total cost of both =$144

Now,

X+1/3X=$144

or, (3X+X)/3=$144 ( taking l.c.m.)

or, 4X/3=$144

or, 4X=$144*3

or, X=$432/4

or, X=$108

Therefore, he paid $36 which is 1/3 of x to hire wetsuit.

its c or d   take a lucky guess my dude
