Question

Josh rents a kayak at a nearby state park. He pays a one-time rental fee of $12.50 plus an additional $3.75 for each hour he spends in the water. How much did Josh spend if he was on the river for 4 1/3 hours a day?

Answer 1

$28.75

Explanation:

$12.50 + ($3.75 x 4) = ?

3 3/4 x 4 1/3

15/4 x 13/3 --> 5/4 x 13/1 = 65/4

65/4 can be simplified to $16.25

$12.50 + $16.25 = $28.75

Answer 2

12.99+3.75x4.5=29.87
