Question

Oceanside bike rental shop charges 14 dollars plus 6 dollars an hour for renting a bike.Joan paid fiftey six dollars to rent a bike. how many hrs did she pay to have the bike checked out?

Answer 1

The rental fee is $14 plus $6/hour.

Joan paid $56 dollars.

 

Let x = the number of hours, so our equation becomes

 

$56 = $14 + x$6/hour

 

which becomes $42 = x$6/hour

 

solving, x = 7 hours.
