Question

A company rents out 13 food booths and 28 game booths at the county fair. The fee for a food booth is $150 plus $7 per day. The fee for a game booth is $95 plus $5 per day. The fair lasts for d days, and all the booths are rented for the entire time. Enter a simplified expression for the amount, in dollars, that the company is paid.

What is the expression?

Answer 1

Let f = number of food booths and g = number of game booths and x = days used.

f(150) + 7x + g(95) +5x = amount paid to company

You can determine this equation by multiplying the number of food booths by the cost per food booth, then add the cost per day times how many days the food booth is rented. Use these same steps for the game booth and add both together to determine how much the company is paid.
