Question

During his vacation, Dalyn rents a small boat from a rental service that charges a flat fee of $50 plus $20 per hour (including taxes).

The total charge comes to $150, which equation can be used to calculate the number of hours, X, that Dalyn rents the boat?
A 20x + 50 = 150:5 hours
B20(x + 50) = 150.5 hours
C 50x + 20 = 150:4 hours
D 30(X + 10) = 90.4 hours

Answer 1

Explanation:

the initial Equation :

50 + 20X = 150

it could be changed to :

20X + 50 = 150

=>

20X = 150-50

20X = 100

x = 100/20

x = 5 hours

the correct answer is option A
