Given the statement:
Renting Boats on a lake costs $22 per hour plus a flat fee of $10 for insurance.
Determuine the number of hours that you've rented a boat if you paid $98
Soution:
In order to determine the number of hours, we simply need to subtract first the insurance cost from the total amount paid, then we divide the difference by the cost per hour,.
= $98 - $10
= $88
= $88/$22
= 4 hours
Final answer:
4 hours
