Pat paid $85.50 for renting a scooter for 6 hours. What was the rate per hour for renting the scooter? (Input only numeric values and decimal point, and report prices to two decimal places, such as 12.30.)

$14.25 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

85.50 divided by 6 is 14.25

The cost of sending the telegram is $6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 St. Post Office charges for an ordinary telegram are $ 4 for the first 10 words and 40 cents for each extra word, to calculate the cost of sending this telegram: MR KAMAU ARRIVING AT 0630 EAST AFRICAN TIME ON BOARD KQ 46 INFORM THE WIFE must perform the following calculation:

The telegram has 15 words.

4 + ((15 - 10) x 0.40) = X

4 + (5 x 0.40) = X

4 + 2 = X

6 = X

Therefore, the cost of sending the telegram is $ 6.
