Answer 2

Answer:

Additional cost of renting bowling alley per person = $ 4

⇒ Total Cost for n no. of people = 100 + 4 × n

So, Cost for 10 people = Fix $100 for bowling alley

                                           + $4 for each 10 people

                                       = 100 + 4 × 10

                                     = 100 + 40

                                     = 140

Therefore, The cost for 10 people equals to $ 140.
