For a ride on a rental scooter, Deon paid an $8 fee to start the scooter plus 6 cents per minute of the ride. The total bill for Deon's ride was $11.96. For how many minutes did Deon ride the scooter? I minutes

66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

11.96 - 8 =3.96

Every 10 minutes Deon pays 60 cents because 6 times 10 = 60 and every 6 minutes Deon is paying 36 cents

10 min = 60 cents

20 min = $1.20        

40 min = $2.40

50 min = $3.00

60 min = $3.60

6 min = 36 cents

Then you do 3.60 + 36 which equals $3.96

How to figure how the minutes is just 60 + 6 = 66 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
