Answer:
4h + 45 = 165
Explanation:
The question was a little hard to understand, but I made some assumptions based off of the answer choices and the information. If any of the assumptions I made sound incorrect, please don't use my answer!
Based off of the question and answer choices, I'm going to assume that Alan paid an initial price of $45 for the skis and then spent 4 hours skiing for an unknown hourly rate. The total amount of money she spent was $165.
Let h represent the hourly rate. Since Alan spent 4 hours skiing, 4 multiplied by h will represent the amount of money Alan paid for her skiing time.
Alan spent a total of $165. This means that the cost of the skis ($45) plus the cost of her ski time (4h) equals $165. This can be represented in this equation:
4h + 45 = 165
