Question

A paddle boat rents for $10 plus $8 per hour. How much does it cost to rent a paddle boat for h hours? Write an expression and show your work.

Answer 1

10 + 8h

10 would be the initial cost and would be unchangeable, leaving it as a constant. The $8 on the other hand increases based on the number of hours, making it the constant with the variable next to it.

Hope this helps!
