  • Jona rented a scooter for 60 minutes and paid $9.

The question is asking about the price per minute.

To know the price per minute, we need to form a ratio. In other words, we need to divide the price by the time rented, that is


r=(9 \ dollars)/(60 \ minutes)= 0.15 \ dollars

Therefore, the price per minute is 15 cents. That is, each minute rental costs 15 cents of a dollar.
