The option D) y = 0.15x is the equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes.

Explanation:

City scooters charges customers by the minute to rent an electric scooter.

It is given that,

The price of the scooter rental is $0.15 per minute.

⇒ 1 minute = $0.15

Jana rented a scooter for $60 minutes.

⇒ 60 minutes = 0.15 × 60

⇒ $9

To frame an equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes :

Let us take,

The variable 'y' as the total price.

The variable 'x' as the number of minutes for rental.

⇒ Total price = price of rent per minute × any number of minutes.

⇒ y = 0.15 × x

⇒ y = 0.15x

The option D) y = 0.15x is the equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes.
