Trish wants to rent a camera for the weekend. One company charges flat rate of $75/day. The other one charges $35/day plus $5/hour. Write two equations to represent this information.
To represent the information about the flat rate charged by the first company, we can use the equation:
Cost = 75 * Number of Days
To represent the information about the variable rate charged by the second company, we can use the equation:
Cost = (35 * Number of Days) + (5 * Number of Hours)
In these equations, "Cost" represents the total cost of renting the camera, "Number of Days" represents the number of days the camera is rented for, and "Number of Hours" represents the number of hours the camera is rented for (if any).
75x where x = days
35x + 5y x = days and y = hours
