Answer 1

To find the total cost using the equation \( C = 15 + 3x \), where:

- \( C \) is the total cost,
- 15 is the flat rate for a lane,
- \( 3x \) is the fee per shoe rental, and
- \( x \) is the number of shoe rentals.

For four shoe rentals (\( x = 4 \)):

\[
C = 15 + 3(4)
\]
\[
C = 15 + 12
\]
\[
C = 27
\]

So, the total cost for getting a lane and four shoe rentals is **$27.00**.
