Question

Maria is bringing her sick dog, Pedro in for a series of appointments at the veterinary clinic. Her total cost over the course of treatment will be $150 for tests and medicine plus $30 per appointment "a". A) Write an equation to show the total cost, "t" she will owe. *

Answer 1

t = 150 + 30a

Explanation:

Treatment of Pedro costs = Expenditure for tests and medicines + fees given for appointments.

If number of appointments = a

Cost per appointment = $30

Cost of 'a' appointments = $30a

Therefore, equation representing the total cost 't' of the treatment will be,

t = 150 + 30a
