Suppose you and your friends form a band and you want to record a demo. Studio A rents $125 plus $50 an hour Studio B rents for $200 and $25 and hour. Let t=the number of hours and c = cost. Solve/Write and equation to represent the cost of each studio
To write an equation representing the cost of each studio, we first need to identify the fixed cost and the variable cost for each studio.
For Studio A:
Fixed cost (rent): $125
Variable cost (hourly rate): $50
For Studio B:
Fixed cost (rent): $200
Variable cost (hourly rate): $25
Let t be the number of hours and c represent the cost.
For Studio A, the equation would be:
c = 125 + 50t
The fixed cost of $125 is added to the variable cost of $50 per hour multiplied by the number of hours (t).
For Studio B, the equation would be:
c = 200 + 25t
The fixed cost of $200 is added to the variable cost of $25 per hour multiplied by the number of hours (t).
These equations represent the cost (c) of each studio based on the number of hours (t) spent recording.
Cost A = 125 + 50t
Cost B = 200 + 25t
You really should have been able to do this.
