See how many times 15 can go into 120.

[tex]\tt \frac{120}{15} =8[/tex]

If 15 • 8 is 120, then the cost would have to multiply by 8.

[tex]\tt 0.25*8= 2[/tex]

It costs $2.00 to use the dryer for 120 minutes.

We can also use the equation to help. We plug in 120 for m and solve.

[tex]\tt 0.25(20)=30\\30 \div 15 = 2[/tex]

We still end up with the same result: $2.00 for 120 minutes.
