The bowling alley charges a flat rate for a lane, plus a fee per shoe rental. Use the equation to solve for the cost of getting a lane and four shoe rentals.

Answer 1

To solve for the cost of getting a lane and four shoe rentals, we need to know the flat rate charged for the lane and the fee for each shoe rental.

Let's denote:

• \( L \): the flat rate for renting a lane
• \( S \): the fee for each shoe rental
• \( C \): the total cost

The equation for the total cost can be expressed as:

\[ C = L + 4S \]

Once you provide the values for \( L \) (the cost of the lane) and \( S \) (the cost per shoe rental), I can help you calculate the total cost \( C \) for one lane and four shoe rentals.
