Question

Suppose you hire an electrician to install several electrical outlets in your home. The electrician
charges $68.00 for materials plus $40.00 per hour for labor.
How much will the electrician charge you if the job take 2 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

$148.00

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the total amount of money the electrician will charge.

x is the hours they work

$68 is the materials cost

y = $68 + 40(x)

It should all equal y since y is the total cost for the electricians service. You plug in 2 in place of x since it took them 2 hours.

y = 68 + 40(2)

y = 68 + 80

y = 148
