It costs $8 for admission to the Park City Ice Arena. In addition, renting skates costs $1 per hour. Write an equation that shows how the total cost, y, depends on the length of the rental in hours, x. Write an equation that shows how the total cost, y, depends on the length of the rental in hours, x.

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
