Question

Kevin cuts lawns during the summer months. He charges $10 plus $5 per hour. The algebraic model is C = 5h + 10, where C represents the total cost and h represents the hours worked. Use pencil and paper to create a table of values for hours worked from 1 to 5, incrementing h by 1 in each row.

Answer 1

We have;

Hours (h), Total cost C

1, 5*1 + 10 = $15

2, 5*2 + 10 = $20

3, 5*3 + 10 = $25

4, 5*4 + 10 = $30

5, 5*5 + 10 = $35

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Kevin's fixed charge for lawn cutting = $10

Kevin's charge for lawn cutting per hour = $5

The total cost, C, for cutting lawn cutting by Kevin is C = 5h + 10
