Information given
Cost of shoe rental per person = $5
Cost to book a lane for one hour = $ 45
Find
Cost of shoe rental for f players = 5x f = 5f
Assume 5 max players can be assigned to one lane.
so, one player gets 1/5 th of the lane
f players would get f x 1/5 = f/5 of a lane for one hour.
The cost to book f/5 th of a lane for one hour would be f/5 x 45 =9f
The cost to book f/5 th of a lane for h hours would be 9f x h = 9fh
Therefore, the expression for the total cost for bowling for f players for h hours = 5f + 9fh
