Answer: a. c = 30 + 45h

b. $322.50

Explanation:

A. Write a function that can be used to find the total charge, c, Juan will pay when the electrician works, h, hours.

This will be calculated as:

c = 30 + 45h

B. How much will Juan pay if it takes the electrician 6 1/2 hours to complete the job?

Using the expression,

c = 30 + 45h

c = 30 + 45(6 1/2)

c = 30 + 292 1/2

c = 322.50

Therefore, Juan will pay $322.50
