Question

At your local farmers market , it costs $10 to rent to rent a stand , and $7 for every hour you stay there . If you paid a total of $38 , how many hours did you stay at the farmers market?

Answer 1

Subtract the rental fee, then divide the left over amount by the cost per hour.

38-10 = 28

28 / 7 = 4

The answer is 4 hours.
