Answer:

The expression of total amount David paid is

y=25+ 15x

where y represents total amount in dollar, x is time in hour.

The total amount that David paid is $100.

Explanation:

Given that,

Ronnie's Rentals charges $25 plus $15 per hour to rent a chain for 5 years.

Let

Ronnie's rents a chain for x hours.

Given that,

Rental charge of a chain for 1 hour is $15

Rental charge of a chain for 2 hour is $(15+15) = $30 = $(2×15)

Rental charge of a chain for 3 hour is $(15+15+15) = $45 = $(3×15)

From the above we conclude that,

∴Rental charge = Time ×$15

Rental charge of a chain for x hour is = $(x.15)=$15x

The expression of total amount David paid is

y=25+ 15x

where y represents total amount in dollar, x is time in hour.

Now plugging x= 5 in the above expression

y= 25 + (15×5)

=$100

The total amount that David paid is $100.
