Vicente Mcfarland · Answer 1

Skateboard: $60.00

Equipment only: $1.50

Skateboard + Equipment: $5.50

In this case, you would take the cost of the skateboard: $60 and divide $5.50 (all items) to get the number of hours.

Which would be "10.9090" ... If we round it we get 11 hours ...

This should be correct. <3
