total cost for the night was $300. How many hours did she rent the limo?

Answer using 2 step equations and X as variable

Answer 1

300=100+50x
x=4
She rented the limo for 4 hours($200) with the one time charge of $100

Answer 2

Let X be number of hours rented and C be total cost.
C = 50X + 100
Since C = 300,
50X + 100 = 300
50X = 200
X = 4 hours
