Question

Diddy and Dixie need some karts for their race. Heading over to Cranky's Kart Rentals, they decide to see how long they can race for. Together , they have a $210 banana coin budget . If Cranky charges them a $60 rental fee per kart plus $15 per hour per kart, how many hours can they race for?

Answer 1

Let's start by calculating how much it costs to rent one kart for one hour:

$60 (rental fee per kart) + $15 (hourly fee per kart) = $75 per kart per hour

Since Diddy and Dixie have a total budget of $210 banana coins, they can rent:

$210 ÷ $75 per kart per hour = 2.8 karts per hour

Since they cannot rent a fractional part of a kart, they must round down to 2 karts per hour.

Therefore, with their budget, Diddy and Dixie can rent 2 karts for 1 hour, or 1 kart for 2 hours.
