Question

mark bike shop rents bikes for 8+5 per hour. jermaine paid $33 to rent a bike. how many hours did he rent the bike for

Answer 1

He rented the bike for 5 hours.

Explanation:

Fixed rate for renting a bike is $8 and rate per hour for renting is $5.

Amount paid by Jermaine is $33.

To find the hourly rent amount that he paid, subtract the fixed rate ($8) from total amount $33.

Rent amount for the bike = 33 - 8

= $ 25

Number of hours rented = 25 ÷ 5

= 5 hours
