Question

Mia wants to rent a paddleboat in Forest Park. The boathouse charges a 7$ fee, plus an hourly rate of 6$. For how long did Mia rent a paddleboat if she paid a total of 43$?

Answer 1

6 hours.

Explanation:

since the boat house charges 7 dollars we can subtract that from 43

43-7=36

since we have 36 left and the fee per hour is 6 we can devide

36÷6=6
