Question

The graph shows the cost of renting skates. Sadie rents a pair of skates at 10 A.M. How much will she pay if she returns the skates by 1 P.M.?

How much will she pay if she returns them at 1:15 P.M.?


1 PM: ??

1:15 PM: ??

Answer 1

Answer: 1 PM = $8

1:15 PM = $9.0

Explanation:

a. Since Sadie rents a pair of skates at 10 A.M and returned the skates by 1 P.M, this means the hours spent was 3 hours. Therefore, based on the graph, for 3 hours rented, he will pay $8

The amount that she will pay if she returns them at 1:15 P.M. will be equal to the value of 3 hours 15 minutes which will be:

= $8 + $1.0

= $9.00
