Answer:

8

Explanation:

Jon has $19 and the admission is $7. Take 7 away from 19 and you are left with $12. Then, you can divide 12 by 1.5 ($1.50) which is how much he has to spend on per hour. This gives us 8 which is how many hours he can skate for $19. Not a bad deal!

If you can, please help or find someone to help me with my question, it will be greatly appriciated!

Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. He has to pay the fee of $7 so you subtract $7 from $19 which is $12

2. You divide $12 by $1.50 and you get 8 hours
