Question

To rent office space for your business, you must pay a one time fee of $1000 and pay rent of $800 per month.

A. Write a linear model that represents the total cost of renting office space as a function of number of monthd you will rent.

B. Find the total cost of renting office space for 6 months.

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) y=800x+1000=800(12)+1000

b)y=1000x (15 months)

Answer 2

Linear model is given as

Total cost of renting = 1000 + n(800)

Total cost of renting for 6 months = $5800

Explanation:

The linear model can be represented as follows ;

The one time fee = $1000

monthly fee = $ 800

Total cost of renting = 1000 + n(800)

n = number of month you will rent

Total cost of renting office space for 6 months can be computed using the model.

Total cost of renting = 1000 + n(800)

where n = 6 months

Total cost of renting for 6 months = 1000 + 6(800)

Total cost of renting for 6 months = 1000 + 4800

Total cost of renting for 6 months = $5800
