Question 8

Consider the situation for the question below. Toll booths are used to collect money from drivers who use a particular road.

On average, 45 cars pass through a particular toll booth each hour. At 8 am, 75 cars have passed through the toll booth.

Which equation represents the total number of cars, 𝑻, that have passed through the toll booth at 𝒉 (hours after 𝟖 a.m.)?

a. t=45h+75

b. t=45(h+75

c. t=75h+45)

d. t=75(h+45)

1 answer

The equation that represents the total number of cars, T, that have passed through the toll booth at h (hours after 8 a.m.) is:

t = 45h + 75

So, the correct option is a. t = 45h + 75
