Answer: F(t) = 8 + 6t

Explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write an equation analyzing the information given:

  • Initial fee: x
  • Hours of work: t
  • Price per hour: $6

So, if he earned $32 for a 4 hour job, the expression will be:

x + (6x4)=32

Solving for x

x + 24 =32

x =32-24

x= 8

The initial fee is $8.

In conclusion, the function's formula for a fee for a single job F will be:

F(t) = 8 + 6t
