Need help on how to set problem up. Problem:  Anita went to the parkway and decided to rent a bicycle. It cost $8 an hour to rent bicycle and $2 for every hour. How much would it cost to go riding for 4 hours?  I know you need to label the variable (what you are trying to find), make an equation, and solve.\r<BR>\n" );
