Question

Suppose that the cost of renting a snowmobile is $37.50 for 5 hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Cost is the dependent variable

B) $75.00

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Cost of renting a snowmobile for 5 hours = $37.50

a)

If c represents the cost and h represents the hours. then cost is the dependent variable as it depends upon the number of hours for which the snowmobile is rented.

b)

Cost of renting a snowmobile for 1 hour =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Cost for 5 hours}}{\text{Number of hours}} = \frac{37.5}{5} = \ 7.5$

Cost of renting 2 snowmobiles for 5 hours =

$\text{Cost of renting a snowmobile for 5 hours }\times 2 = 37.5\times 2 = \ 75$
