A jet ski rental charges a flat rate of $75, plus an additional $10 per hour. You only have $200 to spend. How many hours can you rent the jet ski?

Answer:

12.5 hours

Explanation:

The flat rate is the base, in which no matter how long you rent it for, they'll still charge you that much. You have 200 dollars, and negative 75 is 125 dollars, which you can spend on the hours. Assuming you can rent the jet ski for half an hour, you can divide 125 by 10 for the amount of hours, and the answer is 12.5 hours. However, if you can't rent the jet skis for half an hour, the answer is 12 hours.
