Question

A tile backsplash is being installed. The installation fee is $150.00. The tile is priced at $2.75 per square foot, x. which equation best represents the total cost, y, of the backsplash?

Answer 1

Answer: y = 150 + 2.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the installation fee is $150.00 and that the tile is priced at $2.75 per square foot, x, the total cost, y, of the backsplash will be the addition of the fixed cost of $150.00 plus $2.75 multiplied by the number of square foot. This will be expressed as:

y = 150 + 2.75x

where,

x = number of square foot.
