Question

Renting roller blades costs a flate fee of $5 plus an additional $2.50 per hour. Write a linear equation that models this.

Answer 1

Linear equation : y = 2.50h + 5

Explanation:

Given that:

Fee for renting roller blades = $5

Per hour charges = $2.50

Let,

h be the number of hours roller blades were rented

y be the total amount

Total amount = Per hour charges * Number of hours + Flat fee

y = 2.50h + 5

Hence,

Linear equation : y = 2.50h + 5
