To determine

The expression for the cost of renting the hall for h hours and also the table to find the cost for the given hours.

Answer to Problem 34P

The algebraic expression is $60h$ and the table is

Hours (h)	Cost (60h) in $
2	120
6	360
8	480
10	600

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The cost to rent a hall for school functions is $60 per hour.

Calculation:

The cost to rent a hall is $60 per hour.

For h hours, the cost is

$\$(60\times h)=\$60h$

$\therefore$ The expression is $60h$ .

For 2 hours, the cost will be

$60\times 2=120$

For 6 hours, the cost will be

$60\times 6=360$

For 8 hours, the cost will be

$60\times 8=480$

For 10 hours, the cost will be

$60\times 10=600$

The table is

Hours (h)	Cost (60h) in $
2	120
6	360
8	480
10	600
