Answer:
A: C=45h+30
B: C=$322.50
Step-by-step explanation:
A: We'll start with the equation for the total charge. Juan is saying he will pay a one time fee of $30, meaning there is 30 dollars added to what ever the hourly wage is. This can be represented by the +30. Now if "h" represents the variable for which the hourly wage will be calculated, and he pays $45 dollars per hour this will be represented as 45h. <em>As an example if I pay you 2 dollars per hour using the same variable "h", this would be represented as 2h. So if you worked for two hours you would get 4 dollars, this is proven by the fact the 2(2) (remeber im replacing the "h" with the hours you worked) obviously 2 times 2 is 4 proving my point. </em>This information will give you the equation you see above.
B: Onto solving for how much Juan will pay. Now you say youre supposed to have 9 answer but this can't be true. All you need to do is plug the hours given into "h" and solve the equation. It should look something like:
<u>C=45h+30</u>
<u>C=45(6.5)+30</u>
Im using a decimal because it should be clear 1/2=0.5
<u>C= 292.5+30</u>
45x6.5 always go with PEMDAS, we are multiplying first. Then add 292.5 plus 30
This results in the answer of:
<u>C=$322.50</u>
Repeated multiplication
Power
If multiplying something with like bases, add the exponents together.
The answer was actually posted on another one but it should be step 2; 6x - 12 = 14 + 2x. Or you can search the question again on here and you should find it!
The nine
Or is it asking for the number it was before it was rounded from the hundreths?
