Charges of mack for 1 hour = $12

bus fare = $2.50

Number of Hours= 1

Charges of mack for 1 hour = $12

bus fare = $2.50

we need to find the amount he get paid for it can be calculated by Multiplying Charges of mack for 1 hour with number of hours and then adding bus fare

Total amount he will get paid = Charges of mack for 1 hour × Number of Hours + Bus fare =
`\$12* 1 +\$2.50= \$14.50`

Hence, Total Amount mack will be paid for 1 hour is $14.50.

Now we will find for part 2.

2) Given:

Number of Hours= 4

Charges of mack for 1 hour = $12

bus fare = $2.50

we need to find the amount he get paid for it can be calculated by Multiplying Charges of mack for 4 hour with number of hours and then adding bus fare

Total amount he will get paid = Charges of mack for 1 hour × Number of Hours + Bus fare =
`\$12* 4 +\$2.50= \$50.50`

Hence, Total Amount mack will be paid for 4 hour is $14.50.
