Explanation:

We are given that pete's pest control charges a one-time evaluation fee and a monthly service fee. the total cost is modeled by the equation

Equation :
`y=150+55x`

So, y represents the total cost .

Since we are given that it charges one time evaluation fee .

So, the evaluation fee is 150

This function also includes monthly fee .

So, x represents the number of months.

55 represents the monthly fee.

Thus Option B is correct.

B. y represents the total cost, x represents the number of months of service, $150 is the evaluation fee and $55 is the cost per month.
