Question

An attorney charges $250 for an initial meeting and $150 an hour. How many hours can Pablo afford if he has $500? Which equation would give me the correct answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Hour

250 + 150h = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the fee for the meeting is 250. The hourly fee is 150. Let h equal the number of hours.

250 + 150h

If pablo has 500, then we cannot exceed that amount. So, our equation becomes

250 + 150h = 500

Subtract 250 from both sides

150h = 250

And divide by 50 on both sides. You get x = about 1.67. Since this is a question about time and money, you would round down to 1.
