Question

2. A couple chooses to rent their investment property on Sanibel Island through Verbo.

The cost of renting the condo includes a $175 cleaning fee plus the cost of $299 per night's
stay. Write a linear equation to express the total cost of renting the condo, y, for x number
of nights.

Answer 1

y=299x+175

Explanation:

299 is the amount you are spending per night so you multiply it by x, which is the number of days you will be staying. Since the cleaning fee is a one time payment, not daily, you add 175.

Answer 2

Y = $175 + $299x

Explanation -
Y will be be total cost so the cleaning fee ($175) + each night the couple stays like for example 3 nights it would be $299(3) or Y = $175 + $299(3)
