While visiting New Orleans, Kyla and a friend decided to rent a Tandem Bike to explore City Park. Wheel Fun Rentals charges $8.50 per hour in addition to a $25.00 deposit to rent the bike. If they rented the bike from 11:30 a.M. Until 3:30 p.M., write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to rent the bike.

Let C represent the total cost, and H represent the number of hours...
C = $25 + $8.50(H)
So for this problem...
C = $25 + $8.50x4
C = $25 + $34
C = $59
