Ciara Ingram · Answer 1

Let f = number of food booths and g = number of game booths and x = days used.

f (150) + 7x + g (95) + 5x = amount paid to company

You can determine this equation by multiplying the number of food booths by the cost per food booth, then add the cost per day times how many days the food booth is rented. Use these same steps for the game booth and add both together to determine how much the company is paid.
