Answer: 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we assume that Darryl rented one bike from Jessica’s Bikes, since it’s just himself. With this we can simply take the total he paid, subtract the standard rate and divide the remainder to find how many hours her rented the bike. So that will look like the following:

#hrs = ($44 - $16) / $4
#hrs = ($28) / $4
#hrs = 7

So we know that Darryl rented the bike for 7 hours.

Cheers.
