Answer 1

Here are the correct answers for each question:

**Question 1:**
To find the total cost for renting the truck and driving 188 miles:
- Cost = Rental fee + (Cost per mile × miles driven)
- Cost = $19.95 + ($0.24 × 188)
- Cost = $19.95 + $45.12 = $65.07

**Answer: $65.07**

---

**Question 2:**
Let \( x \) be the cost of each tree. The equation is:
- 17 plants × $12 + 8 trees × \( x \) = $964
- \( 204 + 8x = 964 \)
- \( 8x = 964 - 204 \)
- \( 8x = 760 \)
- \( x = 95 \)

**Answer: $95**

---

**Question 3:**
Let \( x \) be the setup fee. The equation is:
- \( x + (39.95 × 6) = 264.70 \)
- \( x + 239.70 = 264.70 \)
- \( x = 264.70 - 239.70 = 25 \)

To find the total cost for 2 years (24 months):
- Total cost = setup fee + (39.95 × 24)
- Total cost = 25 + (39.95 × 24)
- Total cost = 25 + 958.80 = 983.80

**Answer: $983.80**

---

**Question 4:**
Let \( x \) be the installation fee. The equation is:
- \( x + (5 × 12) = 210 \)
- \( x + 60 = 210 \)
- \( x = 210 - 60 = 150 \)

**Answer: $150**

---

**Question 5:**
Let \( y \) be the pounds of chicken you can buy.
- The cost equation is:
- \( 2.75(12) + 3.50y \leq 75 \)
- \( 33 + 3.50y \leq 75 \)
- \( 3.50y \leq 75 - 33 \)
- \( 3.50y \leq 42 \)
- \( y \leq 12 \)

**Answer: 12 pounds**

---

So the final answers are:
1. $65.07
2. $95
3. $983.80
4. $150
5. 12 pounds
