Question
Write an equation to represent the situation and then solve.Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 1818 dollars plus 66 dollars an hour for renting a bike. Jason paid 7272 dollars to rent a bike. How many hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?Jason rented the bike for hours.
Solution
Let's denote the number of hours Jason rented the bike as "h".
According to the problem, the Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 6 for each hour of rent. So, the total cost of renting a bike can be represented by the equation:
18 + 6h = 72
To solve for h, we first subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:
6h = 72 - 18 6h = 54
Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:
h = 54 / 6 h = 9
So, Jason rented the bike for 9 hours.
