The cost of renting a bicycle is $9 for the first hour plus another $4 for each
additional hour. Which of the following represents this situation, where Cis
the total cost of renting a bicycle for h hours?

Respuesta :

The missing choices are:

A. C = 9h + 4

B. C = 4h + 9

C. C = 4(h - 1) + 9

D. C = 13h

C = 4(h - 1) + 9 represents this situation ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The cost of renting a bicycle is $9 for the first hour
  • Another $4 for each  additional hour
  • C is  the total cost of renting a bicycle for h hours

We need to find which of the following represents this situation

∵ The cost of renting a bicycle is $9 for the first hour

∵ Another $4 for each  additional hour

∵ h represents the number of hours

- Add the cost of the first hour to the cost of the remaining hours

∵ The remaining hours = h - 1

∴ The cost of the remaining hours = 4(h - 1)

∵ C is the cost of renting the bicycle for h hour

- Add 9 to 4(h - 1) to find C

∴ C = 4(h -1) + 9

C = 4(h - 1) + 9 represents this situation
