Question

The cost to tend a boat is $10. There is also a charge of $2 for each person. Which expression represents the total cost to rent a boat for p persons?

Answer 1

(total cost) = (cost to tend a boat) + (price per person)*(number of people)

(total cost) = C
(cost to tend a boat) = 10
(price per person) = 2
(number of people) = p

C = 10 + 2p
or
C = 2p + 10
