Hey, there.

Finally, I have been staying in the Philippines for 6 months. When I arrived here, I really couldn't speak English. But now, I am a little confident about doing it.

Anyway, I have a question. Today, my teacher who is a Japanese and I talked about how we usually say only one sentence as the meaning of "I rent something and paid for the rent $5 by the hour.".

Are the following sentences correct? Or do you have other way to say about it?

1. I rent something by $100 per hour.
2. I rent something by the hour with $100.
3. I rent something by the hour paying $100.

Thank you for reading.

I rent something by $100 per hour.
I rent something for $100 per hour.

I'd say the first sentence sounds better than the other two :)

I rent something by the hour with $100.
I rent something by the hour at $100. [Not a natural way of saying this for me.]

I rent something by the hour paying $100.
I rent something by the hour paying $100. [No, this is confusing, because we are not sure if $100 was the hourly rate, or the total cost. It's ambiguous.]

I rent something at an hourly rate of $100.
I rent something for $100 per hour.

I rent this bicycle by the hour. It's $10 per hour.
I rent this bicycle at an hourly rate of $10.
I rent this bicycle at $10 per hour.
I rent this bicycle for $10 per hour.
This bike is $10 per hour.

Any further advice on this subject will cost you $10 per hour. Thank you. :)
