Question

16 craig went bowling. he rented shoes for $5.25 and paid $4.00 for each game. which equation represents the total cost he could pay for a day of bowling? let c represent total cost and g represent the number of games played.
a $g = 4c + 5.25$
b $c = 5.25g + 4$
c $5.25c = 4g$
d $g = 5.25c + 4$
e $c = 4g + 5.25$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify fixed cost

Fixed cost (shoe rental) = $\$5.25$

Step2: Identify variable cost

Cost per game = $\$4.00$, so total variable cost = $4g$

Step3: Total cost formula

Total cost $c$ = variable cost + fixed cost
$c = 4g + 5.25$

Answer:

E. $c = 4g + 5.25$
