Question

For a ride on a rental scooter, Deon paid a 7$ fee to start the scooter plus 7 cents per minute of the ride. The total bill for Deon's ride was 17.92. For how many minutes did Deon ride the scooter?

Answer 1

156 minutes

-by-step explanation:

→ Set up an equation

7 + 0.07m = 17.92

→ Minus 7 from both sides

0.07m = 10.92

→ Divide both sides by 0.07

m = 156 minutes
