A bike rental shop charges $8 to rent a bicycle (per person), plus $1.75 for every half hour you ride (per person). If the shop charges you and your friend a total of $26.50, how many hours did each of you ride?
So the initial renting fee for you and your friend is $16(8 bucks a piece). Each hour you and your friend will be paying $7 (that's 1.75 for each HALF hour for each of you).
