Question

`a.` Write an equation to represent the total cost of the golf outing. `b`. How much did the friends pay in green fees?

Four friends are planning to play 18 holes of gulf. Two of them need to rent clubs at $5 per set. Total car rental is $10. The total cost of the gulf outing, including green fees, is $92.

Answer 1

`$TC=2($5cl)+$10ca+18($gf)`
TC is total cost, cl is clubs for 2, ca is cart, gf is green fees per hole.

Green fees are `($4)/cup` which is `$4` per hole.

Explanation:

They are going to pay for 18 holes of golf, so the total green fees are `18xx($gf)`.

They are going to pay for the rental of 2 sets of golf clubs at `$5` for a total of `2xx$5`

They are going to pay for rental of a golf cart for `$10.`

That gives us the equation below:

`$TC=2($5cl)+$10ca+18($gf)`

Since we know the total cost `$TC=92`, we can solve for `$gf`

`$92=$10+$10+18($gf)`

`$92-$20=18($gf)`

`$72=18($gf)`

`$gf=(cancel($72)4)/cancel($18)`

#gf=$4
