Question

4. In preparation for the storm, Mike has printed out some flyers

advertising that he will shovel snow for $15 per hour. Mike also will
charge a minimum of $10.
a. Write an equation to find the total amount charged, y, after x
numbers of hours shoveling snow.

Answer 1

y = 10 between 0 and 1

AND

y=15x for x>=1

Explanation:

This has 2 segments. One when 0 < x < 1 (y=$10), and one when x >= 1 (y=$15x)

So

y = 10 between 0 and 1

AND

y=15x for x>=1
