Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 13 dollars plus 9 dollars an

hour for renting a bike. Mike paid 67 dollars to rent a bike. How many

hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?

In this question, we're trying to find how many hours Mike had the bike for.

We know that 13 dollars as a flat rate.

We also know that they charge 13 dollars and hour.

Mike paid a total of 67 dollars for the bike.

Lets represent this as an equation:

67 = 9x + 13

x = hours the bike was rented

Solve for x:

67 = 9x + 13

Subtract 13 from both sides

54 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9

6 = x

This means that Mike rented the bike for 6 hours.

Answer:

6 hours

Answer:he paid for 6 hours to have the bike checked out.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 13 dollars plus 9 dollars an

hour for renting a bike. Let x represent the number of hours that a person rents the bike. The total amount paid for renting the bike for x hours would be

13 + 9x

Mike paid 67 dollars to rent a bike. This means that

13 + 9x = 67

Subtracting 13 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

9x = 67 - 13 = 54

x = 54/9 = 6
