For a ride on a rental scooter, Dante paid a $2 fee to start the scooter plus 12 cents per minute of the ride. The total bill for Dante's ride was 16,28. For how many minutes did Dante ride the scooter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

119 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's get rid of the starting fee of $2

[tex]16.28 - 2 = 14.28[/tex]

Then divide 14.28 by 0.12 ($14.28 ÷ $0.12)

[tex]14.28[/tex] ÷ [tex]0.12 = 119[/tex]

Thus Dante rode the scooter for 119 minutes
