Ronnie and his friend Brian went to play miniature golf. There was an hourly rate(H) to play, and a $7 dollar entrance fee. Ronnie and Brian knew that the longer they played, the higher the total cost would be. Ronnie was the only one that decided to play, but Brian still went in, Brian paid for everything.

$7 (just to get in each person was charged )

Before choosing the equation that represents the relationship between hours “H” and “T” total cost, according to the pattern of this table, think about how much you are really paying per hour, as that seems to not change. Remember you have an entrance fee charge, which is separate from your hourly rate. Which equation represents the relationship and why?

1)Which equation aligns to both Ronnie and Brian going to miniature golf and the situation with entering and playing?

T= 10H +7(2)
T= 12H + 7(3)
T= 2(10)H +14
T= 12H+14
