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. If the total cost is $31.50, How many balls did you hit?

• c = 2.75b + 4; b= 10

• c = 2.75b; b= 11

• c =  4b- 2.75; b= 8

• c = 2.75b - 4; b= 13
