Answer:
c.) hourly rate
Step-by-step explanation:
The value the coefficient represents can often be learned from its units. The term 8t gives a value in currency units, since the expression 8t+20 is an amount that is to be paid. (We can only add like terms, so both 8t and 20 must have currency units.)
The value of t has units of hours, so the coefficient 8 must have units that are ...
8 currency units/hour
That is, multiplying by hours gives currency units.
In this context, a number with units of currency units per hour is most likely the hourly rate of the rental.
