Question

Jon has to pay $7.00 admission for the skating rink in $1.50 per hour to rent rollerblades. How many hours can he skate for $19?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 hours

Explanation:

Given information

Admission fee = $7.00

Hour rent fee = $1.50

Number of hours = h

Total fee = $19

Set equation according to the given information

Total fee = admission fee + (hours) × (hour rend fee)

Substitute values into the equation

19 = 7 + 1.5h

Subtract 7 on both sides

19 - 7 = 7 + 1.5h - 7

12 = 1.5h

Divide 1.5 on both sides

12 / 1.5 = 1.5h / 1.5

`\boxed{h=8}`

Hope this helps!! :)
