Question A:
- The initial fee is $1000. While the maintenance cost is $115 per month.
- For the each month we have,
Cost for Month 1: 1000 + 115(1)
Cost for Month 2 1000 + 1515 + 115 = 1(00 + 115(2)
Cost for Month 3: 1000 + 115(3)
- Thus, we can generalize for x months as follows:
Question B:
- The cost after a year implies the cost after 12 months. Thus, x = 12.
- We have:
