The cost to rent a

Question

10 ft
by
10 ft
storage space is
$80
per month plus a nonrefundable deposit of
$110
.
(a) Write a linear equation to compute the cost,
y
, of renting a
10 ft
by
10 ft
space for
x
months.
(b) What is the cost of renting such a storage space for
1
year (
12
months)?

Answer 1

(a) The linear equation to compute the cost, y, of renting a 10 ft by 10 ft space for x months would be:

y = 80x + 110

(b) To find the cost of renting such a storage space for 1 year (12 months), we substitute x = 12 into the equation:

y = 80(12) + 110
y = 960 + 110
y = 1070

So, the cost of renting a 10 ft by 10 ft storage space for 1 year is $1070.
