The total cost c a painter charges to paint a house depends on the number h of hours it takes to paint the house. This situation can be represented by the function rule c = 15h + 245. What is the total cost if the painter works for 30.25 hours? (1 point) Responses $245.00 $245.00 $453.75 $453.75 $572.75 $572.75 $698.75
To find the total cost, we substitute the given number of hours, h = 30.25, into the function rule c = 15h + 245.
c = 15(30.25) + 245
c = 453.75 + 245
c = 698.75
Therefore, the total cost if the painter works for 30.25 hours is $698.75. Answer: $\boxed{698.75}$.
