Answer 1

To find the total cost \( C \) using the equation \( C = 15 + 3x \), where \( x \) represents the number of shoe rentals, we need to substitute \( x \) with 4 (for four shoe rentals):

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

Now, calculate \( 3(4) \):

\[ 3(4) = 12 \]

Next, add this to the flat rate of 15:

\[ C = 15 + 12 = 27 \]

Thus, the total cost for getting a lane and four shoe rentals is:

\[ \text{$27.00} \]

So, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{27.00} \]
