You pay $1 to rent a movie plus an additional $0.50 per day until you return the movie. Your friend pays $1.25 per day to rent a movie.
a. Make tables showing the costs to rent a movie up to 5 days.
You
Days 1 2 3 4 5
Cost (dollars)
Friend
Days 1 2 3 4 5
Cost (dollars)
To calculate the cost to rent a movie, you need to know the initial rental price and the additional cost per day. In this case:
For you:
Initial rental price = $1
Additional cost per day = $0.50
For your friend:
Initial rental price = $1.25
Additional cost per day = $1.25
To create tables showing the costs to rent a movie up to 5 days, you can follow this process:
For you:
Days 1 2 3 4 5
Cost $1 $1.50 $2 $2.50 $3
To calculate the cost for each day, you simply add the additional cost per day to the previous day's cost.
For your friend:
Days 1 2 3 4 5
Cost $1.25 $2.50 $3.75 $5 $6.25
Again, to calculate the cost for each day, you add the additional cost per day to the previous day's cost.
So, the tables above show the costs of renting a movie for both you and your friend for up to 5 days.
