Answer:


375+12ct_c+10lt_l

Explanation:

Carlie is running two different business.

She needs to pay:

- For the childcare business,

100$ for the materials

12$ per hour for each associate for her childcare business, so if we call:


t_c = the number of hours worked by each associate


c = the number of associates

The total cost for the childcare business is:


C=100+12ct_c (1)

- For the lawn care business,

275$ for the materials

10$ per hour for each associate for her lawn care business, so if we call:


t_l = the number of hours worked by each associate


l = the number of associates

The total cost for the lawn care business is:


L=275+10lt_l (2)

Therefore, the total expenses from both businesses is the sum of (1) and (2):


T=C+L=100+12ct_c+275+10lt_l = 375+12ct_c+10lt_l
