Question

13 points!! Mikes bikes charges an initial fee of $10 to rent a bike plus $5 per hour (h) of use. If the total cost (t) can be determined using the equation t=10+5h, what is the greatest number of hours someone can rent a bike for $25

Answer 1

Answer:

Greatest number of hours = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial charges = $10

Per hour charges = $5

Number of hours = h

Equation;

t = 10 + 5h

For finding the hours for $25, we will put t=25 in the equation

25 = 10 + 5h

25 - 10 = 5h

5h = 15

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5h}{5}=\frac{15}{5}\\h=3$

Hence,

Greatest number of hours = 3
