Answer 1

Answer:

It would cost $160 for 15 people to rent the bowling alley

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's identify what we know:

1) It costs $100, just to rent the bowling alley.

2) We have to add $4 dollars, for every extra person.

3) The total cost can be found by using the expression 100 + 4n = x (n equals number of people, x equals total cost, 100 equals intial rent charge, and 4 equals the charge for each individual person)

So, just input 15 into the equation!

100 + 4(15) = x

100 + 60 = x

x = $160
