Write a function to represent this scenario where Y represents the total amount her changes for a project and x represents the number of hours worked on a project

Answer 1

Answer: y = 140+25x

Explanation:

Since According to the question, Luigi initally charged $140.

And, per hour he charged an additional amount $25 for each contract with the city.

Here, x represents the number of hours worked on a project.

Thus the additional amount after x hours = 25x

So, the total amount he charged in x hours= 140+ 25x

And, according to the question y represents the above change.

Thus, we get a function for the given situtaion

which is , y= 140+ 25x , where x is number of hours and y is total amount charged.

Answer 2

x = hours 25 per hour = 25x

y = total

so y = 25x +140
