A bike shop rents each of its mountain bikes for a one-time $10.50 insurance charge plus $4.50 per hour. Which equation can be used to find y, the total dollar amount that a group of sightseers must pay to rent x bikes for 6 hours?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation can be y = 37.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

One-time insurance charge = $ 10.50

Rent per hour = $ 4.50

2. Which equation can be used to find y, the total dollar amount that a group of sightseers must pay to rent x bikes for 6 hours?

y = Total dollar amount that a group of sightseers must pay to rent x bikes for 6 hours

x = Number of bikes

Let's write the equation, this way:

y = 10.50x + 6 * 4.50 * x

y = 10.50x + 27x

The equation can be y = 37.50x
