Question

An electrician charges a fee of $40 plus $25 per hour. Let y be the cost in dollars of using the electrician for x hours. Choose the correct equation.
y = 40x - 25


y = 25x + 40


y = 25x - 40


y = 40x + 25

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 25x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrician charges $25 per hour.

The number of hours is x.

Therefore after x hours the electrician will charge $25x. (multiply the charge by the number of hours $25 * x)

Therefore fee(y) charged by the electrician = $40 + $25x

Hence y = 25x + 40
