Question

Laura rents a movie for a flat fee of $2.00 plus an additional $0.50 for each night she keeps the movie. If Laura keeps the movie for 3 nights, how much will she pay when she returns it?

$2.50

$6.50

$ 3.50

$7.50

Answer 1

you need to write the sentence as an expression. so the flat fee is $2.00 then you + $.50 times each night (x). so the expression is
$2.00+$.50x
she rents for 3 nights, so you need to put the 3 in for x.
$2.00+$.50(3)
and you compute that and you should get $3.50
