A car rental company charges a flat fee of 20 dollars plus 0.15 dollars per mile driven. What is the equation that represents the total cost, C, of renting a car after driving m miles?
C = 0.15m + 20
C = 20m + 0.15
C = 20 + m
C = 15 + 20m
A bakery sells cupcakes for 3 dollars each. If you buy x cupcakes, what equation represents the total cost, T, of the cupcakes?
T = 3x
T = x + 3
T = 3 + x
T = 3x + 1
A phone company charges a monthly fee of 25 dollars plus 0.10 dollars for each text sent. What is the equation for the total monthly bill, B, based on the number of texts, t?
B = 0.10t + 25
B = 25 + 0.10t
B = 10t + 25
B = 25t + 0.10
A gym membership costs 50 dollars per month. If you plan to go to the gym for m months, what equation represents the total cost, G?
G = 50m
G = m + 50
G = 50 + m
G = 50m + 1

A taxi charges a base fare of 2 dollars and an additional 0.50 dollars for each mile driven. What is the equation for the total fare, F, after driving d miles?
F = 0.50d + 2
F = 2 + 0.50d
F = 50d + 2
F = 2d + 0.50
A concert ticket costs 45 dollars. If you buy t tickets, what equation represents the total cost, C?
C = 45t
C = t + 45
C = 45 + t
C = 45t + 10
A subscription service charges 15 dollars per month. If you subscribe for m months, what is the equation for the total cost, C?
C = 15m
C = m + 15
C = 15 + m
C = 15m + 5
A delivery service charges a flat rate of 10 dollars plus 2 dollars for each package delivered. What equation represents the total charge, T, for delivering p packages?
T = 2p + 10
