Question

Braces on a trip to Iceland where a popular tourist event is renting quads to ride around the volcanic hot spots on the island The costs are acquired is $75 flat rate plus an additional $50 per hour rate an equation for how much renting a quad will cost(Y) why per hour (X) price wants to take the 3-hour tour and has brought $250 with him Does he have enough

Answer 1

A tour for x hours will cost

y = 75 + 50x dollars.

For a three-hour tour (where x=3), the cost will therefore be

y = 75 + 50x = 75 + 50·3 = 65 + 150 = 225 dollars.

Since he brought 250 dollars with him, he can take this three-hour tour (and even gave 25 dollars left over).

Why do so many people like to go to Iceland?

Answer 2

If y is our total cost, then we have the following equation for how much it will cost, based on how many hours Brace wants to ride,

y = 75 + 50x,

as $75 is a flat fee, and he will have to pay $50 for each hour he rents out the quad.

Then, if he rides for 3 hours, we can plug x = 3 to see if he has enough,

y = 75 + 50*3 = 75 + 150 = 225.

Therefore, Brace has enough for a 3-hour ride.
