Question

Devon rented a U Haul truck for $48 for 4 hours plus $13.50 per each hour you go over. At the end of the day, his total bill was $112.50. How many total hours did he have the U Haul?

Answer 1

Answer:

You need to write an equation to find the answer to this:

h = hours

48 + 13.5h = 112.50               -First you need to subtract 48 from both sides

48 - 48 + 13.5h = 112.50 - 48

13.5h = 64.5         -Now divide both sides by 13.5

13.5h / 13.5 = 64.5 / 13.5

h = 4.77777778

However, I would just round to 5.

I hope this helps!
