Question

The total cost to rent a row boat is $16 times the number of hours the boat is used. Write an equation to model this situation if c = total cost and h = number of hours. c = 16h h = 16c c – 16 = h

Answer 1

c = 16h is for short

Answer 2

c = 16h

Explanation:

Because to get the total cost you'll have to multiply 16 times the hours used.

Ex: 5 hours used for $16 each hour

5×16=80 So $80 is total cost
