Question

On vacation we went to a bike rental shop. They charged a $12
fixed fee plus $7 an hour for renting a bike. I paid $64 dollars to rent a bike. How many hours did I pay to have the bike checked out? Write out equation and solve. Show work

Answer 1

Step by step:
You total fee 64 = 12 + 7x

1) Subtract 12 from both sides
52 = 7x


2) Divide both sides by 7
x = 7 3/7

3) Answer in complete sentence;
I checked out the bike for 7 and 3/7 hours
