Question

A company rents out 18 food booths and 26 game booths at the county fair. The fee for a food booth is $100 plus $10 per day. The fee for a game booth is $95 plus $5 per day. The fair lasts for d days, and all the booths are rented for the entire time. Enter a simplified expression for the amount, in dollars, that the company is paid.

Answer 1

4,270 + 310d

Explanation:

Let

d = number of days

Each food booth = 100 + 10d

18 food booth = 18(100 + 10d)

= 1,800 + 180d

Each game booth = 95 + 5d

26 game booth = 26(95 + 5d)

= 2,470 + 130d

Total amount the company is paid = total cost of food booth + total cost of game booth

= (1,800 + 180d) + (2,470 + 130d)

= 1,800 + 180d + 2,470 + 130d

= 1,800 + 2,470 + 180d + 130d

= 4,270 + 310d

Total amount the company is paid = 4,270 + 310d
