Question

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 13 dollars plus 9 dollars an

hour for renting a bike. Mike paid 67 dollars to rent a bike. How many
hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?​

Answer 1

Answer:he paid for 6 hours to have the bike checked out.

Explanation:

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 13 dollars plus 9 dollars an

hour for renting a bike. Let x represent the number of hours that a person rents the bike. The total amount paid for renting the bike for x hours would be

13 + 9x

Mike paid 67 dollars to rent a bike. This means that

13 + 9x = 67

Subtracting 13 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

9x = 67 - 13 = 54

x = 54/9 = 6

Answer 2

In this question, we're trying to find how many hours Mike had the bike for.

We know that 13 dollars as a flat rate.

We also know that they charge 13 dollars and hour.

Mike paid a total of 67 dollars for the bike.

Lets represent this as an equation:

67 = 9x + 13

x = hours the bike was rented

Solve for x:

67 = 9x + 13

Subtract 13 from both sides

54 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9

6 = x

This means that Mike rented the bike for 6 hours.

Answer:

6 hours
