Question

For a ride on a rental scooter, Jim paid a $3 fee to start the scooter plus 11 cents per minute of the ride. The total bill for Jim's ride was $12.02. For how many minutes did Jim ride the scooter?

Answer 1

82 minutes

Explanation:

Jim paid $3 fee to start the scooter and paid $12.02 in total.

To find how many minutes he rode the scooter for, we need to subtract the start fee from the total first.

12.02 - 3 = 9.02

• Now, divide the remaining to 0.11 dollars since its charges 11 cents per minute.

9.02 ÷ 0.11 = 82 minutes.
