Answer 1

Answer: Complete charges for 45 minute walk = $28.5

Explanation:

Given: Per walk charge = $6

Hourly rate = $30

Complete charges for x hour (in $) = 6+30x

Now, 1 minute =
`(1)/(60)\ hour` [ 1hour = 60 minutes]

45 minutes =
`(45)/(60) \ hour = (3)/(4)\ hour`

Complete charges for 45 minute walk =
`6+30*\frac34=6+22.5=28.5`

Hence, Complete charges for 45 minute walk = $28.5
