Question

A bulldozer is rented at $800 per day plus a charge per hour of use. The bulldozer was used for 5 hours on a day, and the total charge was $3000. Which equation can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use? (1 point)


800 + 5x = 3000

800x + 5 = 3000

800x + 5x = 3000

800 + 5 = 3000x

Answer 2

Is it the 1st or 2nd answer? Explain.

Answer 3

It would be the first.

800 + 5x = 3000

800 represents the base cost per day.
5x = 5 is the total hours used that day, and x is the charge per hour of use (which they don't tell us the total charge)

make sense?

Answer 10

Ok, I'm sure there is probably another way to find the answer, but this is how I found it.

The answer is going to be 0.25.
I took .25 and multiplied it by 24 (because it happened over a period of 24 hours)
\[.25 \times 24 = 6\] (the barrel lost 6 gallons of water)

Answer 11

Make sense?

Answer 12

I could have done the same thing with any of the answers, but I just happened to start with .25.
