the total cost of hiring a certain plumber is a flat rate of $35 plus $9.50/hr.
6. Write an equation that shows the relationship between
the quantities.
Let h = hours. C = cost
C = 35 + 9.50h
I got it. Great! Thanks!
To write an equation that shows the relationship between the total cost and the number of hours the plumber works, we need to consider that the total cost consists of a flat rate of $35 plus an additional $9.50 per hour.
Let's represent the total cost as C and the number of hours as h.
The equation can be written as:
C = 35 + 9.50h
In this equation, the constant term 35 represents the flat rate, and the coefficient of h (9.50) represents the cost per hour.
