For renting tables, Parties 'R Us charges, C, a $60 delivery fee and $4 per table,t. Rob's Rentals charges, C, a $40 delivery fee and $6 per table, t. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation

Answer 1

To model the cost of renting tables from Parties 'R Us and Rob's Rentals, we can create two linear equations based on the given information.

1. Parties 'R Us:

   • Delivery fee: $60
   • Cost per table: $4
   • Total cost, \( C \), for \( t \) tables can be expressed as: \[ C = 60 + 4t \]

2. Rob's Rentals:

   • Delivery fee: $40
   • Cost per table: $6
   • Total cost, \( C \), for \( t \) tables can be expressed as: \[ C = 40 + 6t \]

The pair of linear equations that model this situation is:

\[ \begin{align*} C &= 60 + 4t & \text{(Parties 'R Us)} \ C &= 40 + 6t & \text{(Rob's Rentals)} \end{align*} \]
