Question

A bike rental shop charges $17 plus $8 an hour for renting a bike. Susie paid $89 to rent a bike. How many hours did she rent the bike for?

Answer 1

Subtract $17 from $89 for rental fee. That leaves you with $72. Take 72 and divide by $8 hourly fee which leaves you with 9. So she rented the bike for 9 hours.

Answer 2

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$89-$17=72

$8/hr

so, 72/8 = 9 hours
