Question

Frank rented a unicycle at the circus. He paid a flat rental fee of $15 plus $2 and hour. The total cost was $23. Write and solve an equation you can use to find the number of hours he rented the unicycle.

Answer 1

4 hrs

Explanation:

let x = # of hours he rented the unicycle

$15 + ($2/hr)x = $23

($2/hr)x = $23 - $15 = $8

x = ($8) / ($2/hr) = 4 hours
