Question

The cost of renting a canoe is $8 for the first hour plus another $3 for each additional hour. Which of the following represents this situation, where C is the total cost of renting a canoe for h hours?

Answer 1

You can say that:

C(h)=8+3(h-1) which you can start to simplify

C(h)=8+3h-3

C(h)=3h+5

Answer 2

`C(h)=3h+5`

Explanation:

Let

h-----> the number of hours

C-----> the cost of renting a canoe

we know that

`C(h)=8+3(h-1)`

`C(h)=8+3h-3`

`C(h)=3h+5` ------> equation that represent the situation
