A skating rink charges you $10.00 to enter the rink and then $1.00 for each hour you play. Write an equation that represents the total cost, y, you will pay based on the number of hours you spend at the skating rink. Let x represent the number of hours you play

Answer 1

The equation that represents the total cost, y, you will pay based on the number of hours you spend at the skating rink is:

y = 1x + 10

Where:
- y represents the total cost.
- x represents the number of hours you play.
- 1 represents the cost per hour spent at the skating rink.
- 10 represents the cost to enter the rink.
