Question

Ricardo went jet skiing while on vacation. The jet ski rental cost a flat rate of $20, plus $16.75 per hour. Ricardo had $132.16. How much did he have left after 3 hours of jet ski riding?

$50.25

$61.91

$81.91

$70.25

Answer 1

$61.91

Explanation:

flat rate = $20

hourly rate = $16.75/hour

hourly cost = hourly rate × number of hours

total cost = flat rate + hourly rate

total cost = $20 + $16.75/hour × 3 hours

total cost = $20 + $50.25

total cost = $70.25

amount Ricardo had at start = $132.16

amount left = $132.16 - $70.25

amount left = $61.91

Answer: $61.91
