Question

You plan to go snowboarding this weekend in Colorado. The resort charges $20.75 per hour addition to a $35 deposit to rent a snowboard. Solve linear equation to find the total cost to rent the snowboard from 8:30 a.M. To 12:30 p.M.

Answer 1

$160.75

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

The resort charges $20.75 per hour in addition to a $35 deposit to rent a snowboard

The time spent from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm = 4hours

Step two:

Let the number of hours be and the total cost be y

Now the expression for the situation can be represented as

y= 20.75+35x

for x= 4

y=20.75+35(4)

y=20.75+140

y=160.75
