A family room and two bedrooms cost $360 to steam clean the carpets. The amount of labor and the service fee are incorporated into the total cost. Let x represent the labor costs per room and $45 equal the service fee. If it took the carpet cleaners (3) hours to complete the job, how much was the labor?

Choose the equation that represents this situation.

Responses
A $360−45=3x
360 dollars minus 45 is equal to 3 x
B $360+3x=$45
360 dollars plus 3 x is equal to 45 dollars
C $45+3x=$360
45 dollars plus 3 x is equal to 360 dollars
D $360+$45=3x
360 dollars plus 45 dollars is equal to 3 x

The correct equation that represents this situation is C: $45 + 3x = $360.
