Question

Lorna and Robin work as consultants and get paid per project. Lorna is paid a project fee of $35 plus $20 per hour. Robin is paid a project fee of $25 plus $34 per hour. Write an expression to represent how much a company will pay to hire both consultants for a project.

Answer 1

Y=54x + 60

Explanation:

35 + 25 = 60

20 + 34 = 54

Y=54x + 60

Answer 2

Answer: Y=54x + 60

Explanation:

You add both project fees together ( 35 + 25 = 60) then you add together the hourly rates (20 + 34 = 54) and the hourly rate is your slope because it’s per hour and the 60 is your y intercept because it’s paid upfront.
