Write an equation to solve the problem.

Kaya rented a limousine for prom. There was a one-time charge of $100, plus an hourly rate of $45. Her total cost for the night was $347.50. How many hours did Kaya rent the limo for?

• 347.50 = 100x + 45

• 347.50 = 45x + 100

• 347.50 - 100 = 45x

• 347.50 + 45x = 100

Write an equation to solve the problem.

Ronnie charged his customers a flat fee of $25 to fix computers. Then he charged $20 for each hour that he spent fixing the computer. If Ronnie made $175 off of his first customer, how many hours did he spend working?

• 20c - 25 = 175

• c/20 + 25 = 175

• 20c + 25 = 175

Solve the equation.

20c + 25 = 175
