  • Jona rented a scooter for 60 minutes and paid $9.

The question is asking about the price per minute.

To know the price per minute, we need to form a ratio. In other words, we need to divide the price by the time rented, that is

[tex]r=\frac{9 \ dollars}{60 \ minutes}= 0.15 \ dollars[/tex]

Therefore, the price per minute is 15 cents. That is, each minute rental costs 15 cents of a dollar.
