Question

Renting the tennis court costs 40.00 for the first two hours an 5.oo for every additional hour.

A.write an algebraic equation to find the total cost C for a tennis court rental in terms of the number of hours H it was rented.

B: find the cost of the renting the court for 5 hours?

Answer 1

I think that the minimum obligatory rental time for the tennis court is 2 hours.

In this case the algebric equation for the cost c in terms of rental hours will be as follows:

C = 40 + 5(H - 2) Where c is the total cost and H is the rental hours. H should be > = 2 since the minimum

rental time is 2 hours.

The cost for 5 hours will be:

C= 40 + 5(5 - 2) = 40 + 5(3)= 40 + 15 = 55
