Stefan's family rented a rototiller to prepare an area in their backyard for spring planting. the rental company charged an initial fee of $43 with an additional fee per hour. if they paid $64 after renting the rototiller for 7 hours, what was the hourly fee?

The hourly fee is $ 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial fee = $ 43,

Let x be the additional hourly fee ( in dollars ),

Thus, the total additional fee for 7 hours = 7x dollars,

And, the total fee for 7 hours = Initial fee + Additional fee for 7 hours

= ( 43 + 7x ) dollars,

According to the question,

43 + 7x = 64

7x = 21      ( Subtracting 43 on both sides )

x = 3          ( Divide both sides by 7 )

Hence, the hourly fee is $ 3.

7h+43=64

$3
