$15.00 - w = $105.00
$15.00 / w = $105.00
Cadin rents a bouncy house for a birthday party. It costs $30.00 plus $4.00 per hour. If he spends a total of $78.00, how many hours did he keep the bouncy house?
$30.00 - $78.00 = $4.00h
$30.00 + $4.00h = $78.00
$78.00 + $30.00 = $4.00h
$30.00 - $4.00h = $78.00
