Mike’s Bikes chargers an initial fee of $5 to rent a bike, plus $10 per hour (h) of use.

What is the greatest number of hours someone can rent a bike for $175?

17 hours because Mike is renting it for 5 dollars which he doesn’t have to pay per hour. Per hour he has to pay 10 dollars. If you multiply that by 17 you get 170 plus the 5 he has to pay for rent
