Ella and 3 friends are going ice skating. They hire 4 pairs of ice skates for 3 hours. The formula below is for working out the cost of hiring the stakes including a deposit.
C=s(3h+5)

C
= total cost
s
= number of pairs of ice skates
h
= number of hours

How much will it cost to hire 4 pairs of ice skates?

s = 4

h = 3

C = ?

C = s(3h + 5)

C = 4(3·3 + 5)

C = 4(9 + 5)

C = 4(14)

C = ?
