1.   At the annual Fall Festival, Jamal wants to rent a canoe for a trip down the Kaskaskia River. A boat shop in town rents canoes for $10 plus $3 per hour. Write a rule for calculating the cost for renting the canoe. Use h to represent the number of hours the canoe is in use and c to represent the cost.
    A. c = h · 3 + 10 B. c = h · 3 – 10
    C. c = h · 10 – 3 D. c = h · 10 + 3
    Hint

  2.   In a basketball game, the number of points scored for a team consists of two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and (one-point) free throws. If x represents two-point field goals, y represents three-point field goals, z represents free throws, and p represents the total number of points, write a rule for calculating the total points scored in the game.
    A. p = 2x + 3yz B. p = 2x + 3y + z
    C. p = 2x – 3yz D. p = x + 2y + 3z
    Hint

  3.   In a package of candy, there are 3 red candies for every yellow candy. Write a rule for the relationship between the two variables if r represents red candies and y represents yellow candies.
    A. r = y + 3 B. y = r + 3
    C. r = 3y D. y = 3r
    Hint

  4.   At a hockey stadium, there are 15 seats in every row. Let s represent the number of seats and r represent the number of rows. Which rule correctly describes the situation?
    A. r = 15s B. s = r ÷ 15
    C. s = 15r D. s = 15 + r
    Hint

  5.   Describe a situation that can be represented by the rule c = g – 8, where c represents the score Chin received on his Chapter 7 test and g represents the score Georganne received on her Chapter 7 test.
    A. Georganne scored 8 points higher than Chin.
    B. Chin scored 8 times as many points as Georganne.
    C. Georganne scored 8 times as many points as Chin.
    D. Chin scored 8 points higher than Georganne.
