Question

A tuxedo rental service charges $125 flat fee for a suit, plus $30 more for eachadditional day. Write an equation for this situation where y = total cost and x=additional days.

Answer 1

We know that

• The flat fee for a suit is $125.

,

• Each additional day is $30 additional.

If x represents additional days, and y represents the total cost. Then, the equation would be

`y=30x+125`

Since $30 depends on the additional days it has to multiply the variable x.
