A tool rental store charges a flat fee of $6.00 to rent a drill press, and $3.00 for each day, including the first. Use a linear equation to find the cost of renting the tool for one week.
Question 4 options:
A)
$27.00
B)
$21.00
C)
$24.00
D)
$9.00
To find the cost of renting the drill press for one week, we need to calculate the cost of renting the drill press for 7 days.
The flat fee is $6.00, and the cost for each day is $3.00. So, for 7 days, the cost for each day will be $3.00 multiplied by 7, which equals $21.00.
The total cost for renting the drill press for one week is the sum of the flat fee and the cost for each day:
$6.00 + $21.00 = $27.00
Therefore, the cost of renting the tool for one week is $27.00.
The correct answer is A) $27.00
To find the cost of renting the tool for one week, we need to consider the flat fee and the daily charge.
The flat fee is $6.00, which means it will be charged regardless of the number of days rented.
The daily charge is $3.00 for each day, including the first. So, for one week, which is 7 days, we will be charged $3.00 for each of the 7 days.
To find the total cost, we can set up a linear equation. Let's define "c" as the total cost and "d" as the number of days:
c = 6 + 3d
For one week, d = 7, so we substitute d = 7 into the equation:
c = 6 + 3(7)
c = 6 + 21
c = 27
Therefore, the cost of renting the tool for one week is $27.00.
So the correct answer is A) $27.00.
To find the cost of renting the tool for one week, we need to add the flat fee of $6.00 to the fee for each additional day. Since there are 7 days in a week, we need to multiply the fee for each additional day by 7.
The total cost is given by the linear equation:
Total cost = $6.00 + ($3.00 * Number of additional days)
For one week, the number of additional days is 6 because the first day is already included.
Total cost = $6.00 + ($3.00 * 6)
Total cost = $6.00 + $18.00
Total cost = $24.00
Therefore, the cost of renting the tool for one week is $24.00.
The correct answer is C) $24.00.
