Answer:

Kim rent the bike for 17 hours.

Explanation:

h=hours

15 + 5h = 100

Subtract 15 on both sides.

5h = 85

Divide 5 on both sides.

h = 17

Answer:

17 hours

Explanation:

total cost = fee + cost per hour * hours

100 = 15 + 5h

Subtract 15 from each side

100-15 = 5h

85 = 5h

Divide by 5

85/5 = 5h/5

17 =h
