Question

A sports club rents dirt bikes for $37.50 each. How do you find the total cost for the club to rent 20 bikes?

Answer 1

The total cost would be $750.00

Explanation:

We can write a formula for the total cost of renting dirt bikes as:

`r = $37.50 xx t`

where `r` is the rental cost and `t` is the total number of bikes rented.

We can now substitute `20` for `t` and find the rental cost:

`r = $37.50 xx 20`

`r = $750.00`

Answer 2

The rent cost for 20 bikes is $750.00

Explanation:

Lest total cost be `C_t`

`"bike count "xx" cost to rent 1 bike" = "total cost"`

`20xx$37.50=C_t`

But `" "20 = 2xx10`

So we have:

`2xx10xx$37.50 = C_t`

`2xx$375.0=C_t`

`$750=C_t`
