Question

A cable company charges $50 for installation and $80 per month for service. Choose the equation that shows the total cost, c, in dollars, where t stands for months.

Answer 1

50+80t=c

Explanation:

First, we add 50 as a constant, because it is an initial cost.

Then, since they are charged 80$ every month, we can add 80t to the equation, with t representing the amount of months installed.

Lastly, we can add a equal sign and c, since the total cost is equal to the initial price plus the amount of months.

Hope this helps!
