Question

Luigi is an urban planner. As an independent contractor, he charges a $140 fee plus $25 per hour for each contract with the city.

Write a function to represent this scenario where y represents the total amount her charges for a project and x represents the number hours worked on a project.

Answer 1

y = 140 + 25 x

Well, it says y is the total so you already know that something will equal y.
It also says that they earn $25 per hour x represents the number of hours he worked. 140 won't have a variable attached to it since its the fine, it doesn't change either way.
