[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the equation that represents the total cost to rent a jet ski for a certain number of hours, you need to consider the flat fee and the additional cost per hour.

The flat fee of $50 can be considered as a one-time cost, independent of the number of hours rented. Therefore, it is added to the product of the hourly rate and the number of hours rented.

The equation can be written as:

c = 50 + 17.50h

Where:
c represents the total cost to rent a jet ski
h represents the number of hours rented

By plugging in the value of the number of hours rented, you can calculate the total cost of renting the jet ski.
