Answer 1

Answer:

Pete's: $f(x) = 20x + 60$

Carla's: $f(x) = 40x + 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that $x$ is the amount of rooms painted, and $f(x)$

For Pete's Painting Company, they charge a flat fee of $60, so we will have a constant of 60.

They also charge 20$ per room, meaning that we will multiply 20 by $x$, the amount of rooms painted.

This gets us the function $f(x) = 20x + 60$

For Carla's Creative Colors, they charge 20$ to hire the workers, meaning this will be our constant.

They also charge $40 a room, meaning we will multiply 40 by $x$, the amount of rooms painted.

So the function is  $f(x) = 40x + 20$.

Hope this helped!
