Answer 1

Answer:

$80 = 18.50h + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Amount = \ 80$

$Rent = \ 18.50$ per hour

$Helmet = \ 3.0$

$Individuals =2$

Required

Derive an expression for the scenario

A tandem bike allows 2 individuals to ride on it at a time.

So, they will only pay for one rental fee because both can ride on it at the same time.

However, they need to get separate helmets.

For Helmets, they will spend:

$\ 3 * 2 =\ 6$

For Rental, they will spend

$\ 18.50 * h = \ 18.50h$ for h hours.

$Total = Rentals + Helmets$

$Total = 18.50h + 6$

Recall that they have just $80 to spend

So, substitute 80 for total

$80 = 18.50h + 6$

Hence, option C answers the question.
