Question

Liam rented a surf boar which cost $12.50/hour plus a one-time service fee. He used the board or 5.5 hours and paid a total of $93.75.

Use this information to write an equation (in slope-intercept form) which represents how the rental cost is calculated.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 12.5x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to find the cost of the one-time service.

12.50*5.5 = 68.75

93.75 - 68.75 = 25

therefore, the one-time service fee is $25.

liam had to pay $12.50 every hour and thats where we get 12.5x from.

he also had to pay $25 as the one-time service fee which gets us y = 12.5x + 25.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

if y is the total cost of the rental, then y-93.75=12.5(x-5.5) models the cost of renting a surf board for x hours. Liam should rewrite the equation from the previous step so that y is isolated on one side. the constant on the other side is then the service fee.
