Question

Atlanta rents bikes for $12 plus $5 per hour. Calvin paid $47 to rent a bike. For how many hours did he

rent the bike?

Answer 1

7 hours

Explanation:

(47-12)/5

Answer 2

7 hours

Explanation:

If it's $12 + $5(h) = 47, take away 12 automatically as this value doesn't depend on the hours. 47-12 is 35 so divide by 5 to get the hours. 35/5 is 7 so he rode 7 hours.
