A roller skating rink charges a flat rate of $5 to rent skates, plus $2.50 per hour to skate. You rent skates and skate for 3 hours. If you pay with a $20.00 bill, how much change do you get back?

$7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 3 and $2.50 (because you skate for 3 hours and it's $2.50 per HOUR to skate) 3 x 2.50 is $7.50 plus the flat rate of $5 is $12.50. So, your total altogether would be $12.50. So if you pay that total with $20, you have to subtract 12.50 from 20. 20 - 12.50 is $7.50. Your change will be $7.50. I hope this is correct! So sorry if it isn't!

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 2.50 x 3. The answer to that is 7.50. Add on the renting skates, that is 12.50. Then, you subtract 12.50 from 20.00. The answer is 7.5.
