Answer:

$10

Explanation:

Given:

The rental fee for a bike is $4 plus $1.50 per hour.

To Find:

What is the total cost to rent a bike for 4 hours?

Solve:

Since it given that $4 plus $1.50 per hour

then

$1.50 × $4 = $6

$4 + $6 = $10

Check Answer:

First we have to set up a equation.

We can use:

Format: y=mx+b

Which,

y is total cost

m is per hour

b is starting cost

Equation: y=1.5x+4

10=1.5x+4

Subtract 4 both sides

1.5x = 6

Divide 6 by 1.5

x = 4

Hence, the total cost to rent a bike for 4 hours is $10.
