Ronny went to play miniature golf. There was an hourly rate (H) to play, and a 5 dollar entrance fee. Ronnie knew that the longer they played, the higher the (T) total cost would be.

Miniature Golfing Cost
Hours (variable “H” for hours)
Total Cost (variable “T” for total cost)
0
$5 (just to get in)
1
$ 18
2
$ 31
3
$ 44
4
$ 57

10 (special rate, no entrance fee)
$130
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; its the constant, the amount of hours you pay, changes, but the amount per hour does not.. Remember you have an entrance fee charge, which is separate from your hourly rate. What changes is (T) total, and (H) hours, the price per hour does not. Which equation represents the relationship and why?

Equation:
T= 13H
T= 13H +5
T= 5H +13
T= 13 +5

If Ronny played miniature golf for 7 hours, what would his total bill be?

Explain your thoughts about Ronny’s total bill for 7 hours of playing miniature golf.
