City scooters charges customers by the minute to rent an electric scooter. Jana rented a scooter for $60 minutes and paid $9. Write an equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes

The price of the scooter rental is $0.15

A: x=9y

B: y=9x

C: x=0.15y

D: y=0.15x

The option D) y = 0.15x is the equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

City scooters charges customers by the minute to rent an electric scooter.

It is given that,

The price of the scooter rental is $0.15 per minute.

⇒ 1 minute = $0.15

Jana rented a scooter for $60 minutes.

⇒ 60 minutes = 0.15 * 60

⇒ $9

To frame an equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes:

Let us take,

The variable 'y' as the total price.

The variable 'x' as the number of minutes for rental.

⇒ Total price = price of rent per minute * any number of minutes.

⇒ y = 0.15 * x

⇒ y = 0.15x

∴ The option D) y = 0.15x is the equation that shows the price to rent a scooter for any number of minutes.
