Question

A company rents bicycles for a fee of $10 plus $4 per hour of use. Write an algebraic expression for the total cost in dollars for renting a bicycle for h hours.

Answer 1

10+4h=t          t=total      the 10 dollars is the initial amount and the 4 is number per hour

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, the algebraic expression for the total cost in dollars for renting a bicycle for h hours is:   y=10+4h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'h' denotes the time period in hours for which the bicycle was used.

It is given that:

A company rents bicycles for a fee of $10 plus $4 per hour of use.

This means that if the bicycle is used for t hours than the amount which gives the estimate is:  $ 4h

Let 'y' denotes the total amount of renting a bicycle.

Total cost in dollars for renting a bicycle for h hours is given by the algebraic expression as:

y=10+4h.
