Company A rents a bounce house for $100 rental fee plus $20 per hour. Company B rents a bounce house for $40 per hour . Let h=the number of hours the bounce house is rented.Write an expression that shows the cost of renting a bounce house from each company

Answer 1

100+20h=C 40h=C

Explanation:

since company a charges 20 per hour you would multiply however many hours times 20 and add 100 for thr additional fee. since company b has no additional fee and charges 40 per hour you you multiply 40 times hours to determine the cost

Answer 2

Cost of renting house from company A = 100 + 20h

Cost of renting house from company B = 40h

Explanation:

Framing an expression:

Company A:

Fixed charge = $100

Rent for 'h' hours = 20*h = 20h

Cost of renting house from company A = 100 + 20h

Company B:

Company doesn't quote any fixed charge and it charges $40 per hour.

Cost of renting house from company B = 40h
