Question

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges a eleven dollar fixed fee plus nine dollars an hour for renting a bike. Melanie paid sixty - five dollars to rent a bike. How many hours did she pay to have the bike checked out? Let h represent the number of hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

She paid 6 hours for the bike to be checked out

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The equation is 11+9h=65. 11 represents the start value (fixed fee) and 9h represents how many hours she paid for, which is $65.

2. You subtract 11 from 65 to start figuring out how many hours she paid for. 65-11=54

3. You then divide 54 by 9 to calculate how many hours she paid. 6
