Question

2. A plumber charges $60 to make a house call and $25 per hour for the time he works to fix the

problem. If he works 3 hours, how much does he charge? (Hours worked vs. Charge)

Answer 1

$135 in total.

Explanation:

A plumber charges a one-time down payment of $60, and $25 per hour.

He works 3 hours. Multiply his cost per hour with the amount of hours he worked:

3 x 25 = 75

Now, add the number gotten with his one-time payment:

75 + 60 = 135

$135 is how much he charges.
