Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total cost is $50 (initial charge) + $65 per hour. If Bill was billed just over $300, we can set up the equation: $50 + $65x = $300, where x is the number of hours. Solving for x gives us a bit less than 4 hours, but since the question asks for the nearest hour, the answer is 4 hours.
