The Bike Rental Shop charges $12 plus $9 an hour for renting a bike. Darnell paid $57 to rent a bike. How many hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: First you need to subtract the $12 fee from the total to find out how many hours he paid for. 57-12=45. So if he paid $45 at $9 per hour, 45 divided by 9 equals 5.
