Question

Skate station charges a flat rate of $5.00 for skate rental plus $2.00 per hour of skating. If the number of hours is represented by "h," which algebraic expression represents the overall rate for "h" hours of skating?

5h
5 + 2h
5 + h
7h

Answer 1

Hey!
So since it says 2 dollars per hour, you can figure out that it has to be 2h because is PER hour which means 2 needs a variable. Also the flat rate would just be added to the 2h which means the equation is:
2h + 5
Hope this helps!
