Total cost equals the yearly fee price plus $14 times number of hours.

T= total cost
n= number of hours

Equation:
T= $199 + $14n

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:


y=14x+199

Explanation:

Let x be the number of hours and y be the total cost for use of ABC Car Share.

We have been given that ABC Car Share Inc. offers $14/hr for the use of its car share, so the cost of sharing a car for x hours will be 14x.

We are also told that they charge $199 yearly fee for sharing their car. So the total cost of sharing a car will be equal to cost of sharing car for x hours plus yearly charge.

We can represent this information in an equation as:


y=14x+199, where y represents total cost of sharing car for x hours.

Therefore, the equation
y=14x+199 models the total cost for use of ABC Car Share.
