Question

There is a fee to rent a moving truck from Lucky Trucks , plus $20 per hour. Emiley rented a truck for 7 hours and paid $200.what is the fee?

A) $140
B) $200
C) $40
D) $10

Answer 1

To find the initial truck rental fee, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours rented ($20 × 7 = $140), then subtract this amount from the total paid ($200 - $140), which equals $60. The provided options do not list this answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to find the initial rental fee for a moving truck from Lucky Trucks that Emiley used, given that she also paid $20 per hour for 7 hours and the total amount paid was $200.

To solve this, we need to calculate the total hourly charge and then subtract it from the total paid. Emiley rented the truck for 7 hours at $20 per hour, so her total hourly charge is 7 hours × $20/hour = $140. Subtract this amount from the total paid to find the initial rental fee: $200 - $140 = $60.

Therefore, the fee to rent the truck, not including the hourly rate, is $60. The correct answer is not listed among the options provided (A) $140 (B) $200 (C) $40 (D) $10, so it seems there is an error in the options given in the question.
