Explanation
Given that Omar paid an $8 fee to start the scooter plus 6 cents per minute of the ride. We can express this as
Let the number of minutes be x. Therefore, we will have
[tex]\frac{6}{100}x=0.06x[/tex]as the payment for riding the bicycle over x minutes.
Therefore, since the total bill for Omar’s ride was $19.34, we will have;
[tex]0.06x+8=19.34[/tex]Hence;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.06x+8=19.34 \\ 0.06x=19.34-8 \\ 0.06x=11.34 \\ x=\frac{11.34}{0.06} \\ x=189 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: 189 minutes
