Question

1. Renting a bicycle at a local Bike shop costs $30 for the first day and $10 for each additional day.

Create a chart of values and write an equation to find the total cost, C in terms of the number of days d

Answer 1

It needs these features:

Price(1 day) = $30
Price(2 days) = $40 = 30 + 10
Price(3 days) = $50 = 30 + 20 = 30 + 2*10
Price(4 days) = $60 = 30 + 30 = 30 + 3*10
Price(5 days) = $70 = 30 + 40 = 30 + 4*10

Answer 2

No direct answers please, I want liveh elp, not cheatzorz

Answer 3

I don't see any direct answers. Let's see your equation.

Answer 4

Well I got confused pretty much, I need live help, not a "Oh, you need this stuff" then leave, lol

Answer 5

C = 10d + 30 ______________________________________________________________________
1| 30
2| 40
3| 50
4| 60
5| 70

Answer 6

This tkhunny guy isn't very explanatory, so

Answer 7

Answer 8

R=10d+30

Answer 9

sorrey..

C=10d+30

Answer 10

So I did a small chart, I need it checked, and if you can, help me more :D

Answer 11

Shoot

Answer 12

Hold on

Answer 13

C = 10d + 30

Answer 14

no..

Best Response Medals 1
C = 10d + 30
______________________________________________________________________
1| 30
2| 10*2+30=50
3| 10*3+30=60
4| 70
5| 80


and so..

Answer 15

Thats confusing :/

Answer 16

10*2+30=50 is the same as saying 50

Answer 17

OH WAIT OHHH

Answer 18

I get it now :)

Answer 19

okay..

Answer 20

C = 10d + 30
______________________________________________________________________
1| 30
2| 10*2+30=50
3| 10*3+30=60
4| 10*4+30=70
5| 10*5+30=80

Right?

Answer 21

10d + 30 is incorrect.

Try d = 1

10(1) + 30 = 10 + 30 = 40 -- Whoops! Too expensive

Answer 22

There are two logical ways to fix it.

C = 10(d-1) + 30
C = 10d + 20

Take your pick.

Answer 23

What's confusing about "is not correct"? You were doing so well. I want you to show your work. Show some more.

Answer 24

@SanjanaP

Answer 25

@tkhunny you realize the problem said 10 for each ADDITIONAL day, not the first day, right?

So perhaps the equation does confuse you, but in context, it makes sense.

Answer 26

In context, C = 10n + 30 is still incorrect. You mustn't charge the $10 on the first day. Thus, C = 10(n-1) + 30 is correct. Or, after a little algebra, C = 10n + 20.

Answer 27

@tkhunny @sanjanaP @zaibali.qasmi @DJB8

Answer 28

Why are we spamming?

This chart is correct.

C = 10d + 30
1| 30
2| 40
3| 50
4| 60
5| 70

However, this chart is NOT reproduced by C = 10(n) + 30

Changing the chart is not a good idea. One must change the formula for C.

Answer 29

So basically you switched the 10d and the 30, and now you're saying you can't change the value of d?

Answer 30

No, I'm saying this chart is correct.

1| 30
2| 40
3| 50
4| 60
5| 70

You do not get to change the chart if you write the wrong function.
That correct chart is NOT reproduced by C = 10d + 30 or by C = 30 + 10d

You must find a function that reproduces the correct chart. You must not alter the correct chart to match an incorrect equation.

Answer 31

Welp

Answer 32

Plenty of stuff on there. You just have to think about it until it soaks in. You'll get it.

Answer 36

Hi

Answer 37

So I need help :/

Answer 38

hi an ok wat is it -_-

Answer 39

Is this correct?

C = 10d + 30
1| 30
2| 40
3| 50
4| 60
5| 70

When C = total cost, d = the number of days, 30 is the amount to rent a bike for the 1st day and the 10 is the amount to pay for each additional day

Answer 40

Idk ... this is confusing to me
