Solution A one-time maintenance fee of $300 is charged. This is a fixed cost because it must be paid regardless of the number of people who attend. The cost per plate is the number we will multiple our variable by. Equation is C = 25n + 300 Cost per Person (rate per item) Maintenance Fee (fixed amount) Practice : Let T dollars represent the total cost, and let d days represent the rental time. Write an equation to model each situation. (a) A rental agency charges $45/day for a mid-size car. (b) A room at a hotel costs $126/day. (c) A candy floss machine can be rented for $90/day. (d) An arena charges $100 plus $85/day. (e) A chalet can be rented for $170 plus $320/day. (f) A video can be rented for a $2 fee plus $3/day.
