Answer 1

Answer:

Additional fee or hour = $8.5

y = $2 + 8.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total paid = $36

Number of hours = 4

Initial rental fee = $2

Additional fee per hour = a

Total amount = initial rental fee + additional fee per hour * number of hours

36 = 2 + 4a

36 - 2 = 4a

34 = 4a

a = 8.5

Hourly fee = $8.5

Therefore, the cost formula

y = initial fee + regular fee * number of hours

y = $2 + 8.5x
