In Tagaytay City, a horse ride costs P120.00 per person for the first 30 minutes and P50.00
for every additional 10 minutes.If you spent P270.00 for a horse ride,for how long did you ride?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since P270 is P270 - P120 = P150 more than P120, it means that you (or me, as you wish)
spent P150 for additional/extra time.
Hence, the extra time was P150 : P50 = 3 times 10 minutes, or 30 minutes.
With first 30 minutes, it gives 30 + 30 = 60 minutes, or 1 hour.
ANSWER. You rode 1 hour.
Solved.
