Question

A car rental costs a fee of $150 plus $35 per

hour. If Joey spent $325, how many hours
did Joey rent the car for?

Answer 1

5 hours

Explanation:

We know that Joey spent a total of $325. He first paid the fee of $150. Let's subtract $150 from $325.

$325 - $150 = $175

Now, we know that it costs $35 per hour to rent the car. So, we divide $175 by $35 to find out how many hours Joey rented the car for.

$175 ÷ $35 = 5 hours
