Answer:

Computer can be rented for  42.85 minutes using $22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Setup charge =  ​$ 7

Additional charge for every 10 minutes = ​$ 3.50

To find:

The time for which the computer can be rented for  ​$ 22

Solution:

Let the additional time be x

for  additional charge for 10 minutes =3.50

for 1 minute , additional charge = [tex]\frac{3.50}{10}[/tex]= $0.35

According to the question

setup cahrge + additional charge= $22

[tex]7+(0.35\times x)=22[/tex]

[tex](0.35\times x)=22-7[/tex]

[tex](0.35\times x)=15[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{15}{035}[/tex]

x=42.85
