Question

you can rent a bicycle from the bike shop A for a 5$ fee plus 2.50 per hour or form bike shop n for an 8$ fee plus 2.00 per hour. after how many hours is the cost the same? write and solve the equation

 

 

 

for the revenue expression 10x and the cost expression 100+7.5x write and solve an inequality to determine when the revenue is greater than the costt. then write and solve an inequality to determine when the profit described is between $500 and $1000 

Answer 1

For shop A: cost is 5 + 2.5h, where h is the number of hours

For shop B: cost is 8 + 2h, where h is the number of hours

 

5 + 2.5h = 8 + 2h             subtract 5 from both sides

2.5h = 3 + 2h                   subtract 2h from both sides

0.5h = 3                            multiply both sides by 2

h = 6

 

The cost is the same for 6 hours.

 

Check:

 5 + 2.5(6) = 8 + 2(6)

5 + 15 = 8 + 12

20 = 20
