Question

Kaya rented a limousine for prom. There was a one time charge of $100 dollars plus an hourly rate of $45. Her total cost for the night was $347.50. How many hours did Kaya rent the limo for?

Answer 1

First you would subtract 347.50 and 100 = 247.50.
Then you would divide 247.50 by 45 and get 5.5.
Kaya rented the limo for 5.5 hours.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hello!

Firstly, let's subtract the one time charge of $100, because we know for sure that Kaya is paying that:

347.50 - 100 = 247.50

Now, divide this by the hourly rate:

247.50 / 45 = 5.5

Kaya rented the limo for 5.5 (five and a half) hours. =)
