The problem describes the cost of hiring a canoe. There is a fixed cost of £6 and then a cost of £10 for each day the canoe is hired. a) We need to write an equation for the total cost $c$ in terms of the number of days $d$. b) We need to use the equation from part a) to calculate the cost for 1, 2, and 3 days, and fill in the values for A, B, and C in the table.

1. Problem Description

The problem describes the cost of hiring a canoe. There is a fixed cost of £6 and then a cost of £10 for each day the canoe is hired.

a) We need to write an equation for the total cost $c$ in terms of the number of days $d$.

b) We need to use the equation from part a) to calculate the cost for 1, 2, and 3 days, and fill in the values for A, B, and C in the table.

2. Solution Steps

a) The total cost $c$ is the sum of the fixed cost and the cost per day multiplied by the number of days. The fixed cost is £6, and the cost per day is £

1

0. Therefore, the equation is:

$c = 6 + 10d$

b) We use the equation $c = 6 + 10d$ to find the values for A, B, and C.

For A, the number of days $d = 1$.

$c = 6 + 10(1) = 6 + 10 = 16$

So, $A = 16$.

For B, the number of days $d = 2$.

$c = 6 + 10(2) = 6 + 20 = 26$

So, $B = 26$.

For C, the number of days $d = 3$.

$c = 6 + 10(3) = 6 + 30 = 36$

So, $C = 36$.

3. Final Answer

a) $c = 6 + 10d$

b) $A = 16$, $B = 26$, $C = 36$
