Question

A store rents bicycles for $8 per hour. The cost to rent a helmet is $4. How much money does it cost to rent 1 bicycle and 1 helmet for 3 hours?

Answer 1

$36

Explanation:

The store rents Bicycle and Helmet.

For every 1 hour, a customer pays the following:

Bicycle:

$8 for every ONE HOUR

For THREE HOURS, the cost would be:

$8 * 3hours = $24

(The store rents the BICYCLE at $24 for every three hours.)

Helmet:

$4 for every ONE HOUR

For THREE HOURS, the cost would be:

$4 * 3hours = $12

(The store rents the HELMET at $12 for every three hours.)

COST FOR BOTH BICYCLE and HELMET for three hours

= $24 + $12

= $36
