Sara paid for 4 hours to have the bike checked out
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Oceanside bike rental shop charges 17 dollars plus 9 dollars an hour for renting a bike
Let "x" be the number of hours rented
Then, total cost is 17 dollars plus 9 dollars for "x" hours
<em><u>Thus, we frame a equation as:</u></em>
Total cost = 17 + 9(number of years)
Total cost = 17 + 9x
<em><u>Sara paid 53 dollars to rent a bike</u></em>
Therefore, total cost = 53
Thus sara paid for 4 hours to have the bike checked out
