Woman wants to remodel her bathroom. Materials will cost her $500 and the contractor charges $40 per hour. The equation y = 40x + 500 represents the amount of money needed for x number of hours worked by the contractor. How much money would it cost if it took the contractor 12 hours to completely remodel her bathroom?

Answer:

980 is the answer!

Explanation:

If the contractor gets paid $40 an hour for 12 hours, 40 x 12= 480. 480+500 (the cost of materials) equals 980. There you have it folks! Hope I helped you some what! ↖(^ω^)↗
