Question

3. If a customer has $50.00 to spend, for how many hours can they rent the bicycle?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so Steve has $50 in his pocket. He wants to rent a bike for the maximum amount of time possible with his money. It costs him $12 per hour to rent a bike.

To solve this problem use simple arithmetic:

($50/$12=4.16)

So Steve is able to rent the bike for 4.16 hours, but we aren't done yet. Steve cannot purchase 16% of an hour, he can only buy FULL hours, so with his $50 , the maximum amount of time he can buy is 4 hours!

Let me know if you need any further explanations :)
