A driving range charges $4 to rent a golf club plus $2.75 for every bucket of golf balls you hit. Write an equation that shows the total cost c of hitting b buckets of golf balls.

• c = 2.75b + 4
• c = 2.75b
• c =  4b- 2.75
• c = 2.75b - 4

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. Write an equation that represents this scenario if she spends $35 in all.

• .50x + 20 = 35
• .50x = 35
• .50 + 20x = 35 
• .50x - 20 = 35
