Question

Ari is starting a yard service business. He charges a flat rate of $10 plus an additional $15 per hour, regardless of the service. Create a function and use a table to determine how much Ari will make if he works for 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 hours

Answer 1

Let x represent the number of hours worked.

The function for calculating Ari's earnings is:
Earnings = $10 + $15x

Using this function, we can create a table to determine how much Ari will make if he works for 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 hours:

| Hours Worked (x) | Earnings ($) |
|------------------|--------------|
| 1 | $25 |
| 1.5 | $32.50 |
| 2 | $40 |
| 2.5 | $47.50 |
| 3 | $55 |
