Question

A waterslide is rented at $500 per day plus a charge per hour of use. The bounce house was used for 5 hours one day, and the total charge was $800. Which equation can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use?
500x + 5x = 800

500 + 5 = 800x

500x + 5 = 800

500 + 5x = 800

Answer 1

Answer: $500+5x=800$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rent of waterslide per day  = $500

Let x be the a charge per hour of use.

The number of hours bounce house was used  = 5 hours

Since, the total charge was $800.

Therefore, the equation can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use is given by :-

Fixed charge+5 times x=Total charge

$\Rightarrow500+5x=800$

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation which can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use is:

 500+5x=800

Step-by-step explanation:

A waterslide is rented at $500 per day plus a charge per hour of use.

The bounce house was used for 5 hours one day, and the total charge was $800.

We have to find a equation which can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use.

Per hour charge=$x

so, charge for 5 hours=$5x

total charge of a day = 500+5x

Hence, equation which can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use is:

 500+5x=800
