Question

John is going to rent a tent to go camping. The cost to rent a camping tent from Woodland Outfitters is a flat rate of $12.00 plus $2.00 for each night the tent is rented.

Part a. Let x represent the number of nights John keeps the tent and write a cost function, c(x), for the cost to rent a tent from Woodland Outfitters.

Part b. How much will John owe if he uses the tent for three nights?

Answer 1

Part A- The equation would be c(x)=2x+12. You would use this equation to answer part b by substituting the variable x for the number of nights John keeps the tent.

Part B- First start by substituting 3 in place of the variable x. c(x)=2(3)+12
Then you multiply the 2*3 leaving you with ------------------------> c(x)=6+12
The last step is to add your like terms, 6+12 --------------------> c(x)=18

If John used the tent for three nights, he would owe Woodland Outfitters $18.00.
