Problema Solution
a bike shop charges 6 dollars fee plus 3 dollars per hour to rent one bike. if you have 20 dollars how many hours will you be able to rent the bike.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'n' stand for the number of hours that the bike is rented for. The total cost can be written as:
Total=6+3n
If we only have 20, we can write:
20=6+3n
Solving for n, we get:
n= 4 2/3 hours
This is how long we can rent the bike for. If the bike shop does not allow partial hour rentals, we could only rent the bike for 4 hours.
