Question
For a ride on a rental scooter, Ivan paid a 23.13. For how many minutes did Ivan ride the scooter?minutes
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, we need to convert the total bill and the starting fee to cents to match the per minute charge. So, 3 becomes 300 cents.
-
Subtract the starting fee from the total bill to find out how much Ivan paid for the actual ride. So, 2313 cents - 300 cents = 2013 cents.
-
Since Ivan paid 11 cents per minute for the ride, we divide the total cost of the ride by the cost per minute. So, 2013 cents ÷ 11 cents/minute = 183 minutes.
So, Ivan rode the scooter for 183 minutes.
