Question

Olivia decides to hire an electrician. The electrician charges $35 to come out to Olivia's

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

Where,

Fixed cost= $35

Variable cost = 60x

x= number of hours of work

Total cost is the addition of fixed and variable cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

C(5)= 35 + 60(5)

= 35 + 300

=335

C(5) = 335

C(5) = 335 is Olivia's total cost of hiring the electrician

x=5 is the electrician's number of hours of work

35= fixed cost of hiring the electrician

60(5) = 300 is the variable cost of hiring the electrician for 5 hours
