Answer:
9.6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be number of hours.
We have been given that John pays $1.25 per hour to rent roller blades. The cost of renting roller blades for x hours would be [tex]1.25x[/tex].
Since he admission fee is $8, so total cost of skating for x hours would be [tex]1.25x+8[/tex].
To find the number of hours that John can skate in $20, we will equate [tex]1.25x+8[/tex] by 20 as:
[tex]1.25x+8=20[/tex]
[tex]1.25x+8-8=20-8[/tex]
[tex]1.25x=12[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.25x}{1.25}=\frac{12}{1.25}[/tex]
[tex]x=9.6[/tex]
Therefore, John can skate for 9.6 hours.
