Question

Jabar recently opened a law firm. For consultations, he charges a one-time initial fee of $200 and an hourly fee of $110 (per hour). How would he represent this as a linear equation?

a. C = 110h
b. C = 200 + 110h
c. C = 200h + 110
d. C = 200 - 110h

Answer 1

The correct linear equation to represent Jabar's law firm consultation fees, which includes a one-time fee and an hourly rate, is C = 200 + 110h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how Jabar, who recently opened a law firm, should represent his charges for consultations as a linear equation. He charges a one-time initial fee of $200 and an hourly fee of $110 per hour. The linear equation that represents the total cost C of his legal services for h hours of consultation is C = 200 + 110h. This equation includes the one-time initial fee as a constant and the hourly fee as the variable component that multiples with the number of hours of consultation.
