Question

You are considering hiring a DJ for a birthday party. The price of the DJ is $35 per hour. All customers must

pay a $75 set up fee. The fixed cost is added to the total bill.

Write an equation to determine the total bill, t, for a customer. Use h to represent the number of hours the DJ works.


t = 75h + 35

t = 35 + 75

t = 35h + 75

h = 35t + 75

Answer 1

The answer is C

Explanation:

t = bill for the customer

h= number of hours Dj worked

1) t = 75h + 35

This is wrong because h represents the number of hours the Dj worked. 75 is how much the customers paid as a setup fee.

2) t = 35 + 75

This is wrong because it's asking you to use "h" and "t" to determine the total. This is just a regular equation.

3) t = 35h + 75

This is right because as it says in the problem "The price of the Dj is $35 per hour" It also says use "h" to represent the number of hours the DJ works.

The "t" is used for the customer bill and 75 represents the setup fee

4) h = 35t + 75

This is wrong because h respresents how many hours the DJ works.

"t" represents the bill for the customer. The "t" would be in the beginning of the equation and the "h" would be behind the amount the DJ got paid per hour.
