Question

You plan to go snowboarding this weekend in Pennsylvania. The resort charges $15.75 per hour in addition to a $25 deposit to rent a snowboard. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to rent the snowboard from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Answer 1

$88 in total

Explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost to rent the snowboard.

$25 is already guaranteed

25 + 15.75x = y

since it is 4 hours from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. you put 4 into x.

25+15.75(4) = y

88 = y
