Question

A bike rental company rents beach bikes. They charge an initial fee plus $3 for each hour the

bike is rented. Charles rented a bike for 4 hours and was charged $22. Let x represent the
number of hours and y represent the total cost of the rental.
Use the key information above to find an equation that
represents this rental costs at the bike company. How much
would it cost someone to rent the same bike, with the same
fees, for 6 hours?
O $26
O $28
O $30
O $24

Answer 1

They would pay $28.

Explanation:

4 x 3 = 12, 22-12= 10. $10 is initial fee.

6 x 3 = 18, 18+10= 28. $28 for 6 hours

Answer 2

Since chad was charged 1 dollars for each hour for 6 hours, we can represent this as 1 x 6. Now subtract 6 dollars from the bill for the hours and it leaves the initial fee of $4 for rental.

Now check your work:

(1 x 6) + 4 = 10
