Question

Nahla wants to rent a boat and spend at most $46. The boat costs $6 per hour, and Nahla has a discount coupon for $8 off. What are the possible numbers of hours Nahla could rent the boat?

Answer 1

Nahla can rent the boat for 9 hours.

Explanation:

Nahla has $46 and a coupon for $8 off. Which you ADD to the total that she could spend.

46 + 8 = 54

If each hour costs Nahla $6, how many hours can she rent the boat for if she has a total of $54?

54 ÷ 6 = 9

Nahla can rent the boat for 9 hours.
