) Charlie rented a bike from Sarawong's Bikes. It cost $18, plus $5 per hour. If he paid $48 at the end, how many hours did he rent the bike for?

Sagot :

We have the following data:

1. The bike rental costs $ 18 down payment.

2. The bike rental is $ 5 per hour over the down payment.

3. Willie paid $ 48 totally.

To determine the number of hours for which Willie rented the bike, we first subtract the down payment from the total amount.

48 − 18 = 30

$ 30 represents the total money paid by Willie for the number of hours he rented the bike.

Dividing this amount by 5 will give us the number of hours.

30/5 = 6

Willie rented the bike for 6 hours.
