An electrican's shop charges $55

service fee plus $50 per hour for labor.
The linear equation that models
C= $50+ $55, where h is the number of labor hours and C is the total cost.
How much would the shop charge a customer for a job that takes 17hrs?

Answer 1

$905

Explanation:

$50×h+55=?

h=17 and you pay so $50×h

so $50×h=850

so now that you calculated the cost of the labor add the $55 dollar service fee

850+55=905
