There was a flat fee of 10 dollars
Each 1/4 hour brought in 3,75
The total charge was 55 dollars.
Equation
Charge = 10 + 4*3.75*x as an hourly rate,
Solution
55 = 10 + 4*3.75x Combine
55 = 10 + 15x Subtract 10 from both sides
55-10= 10-10 + 15x
45 = 15x Divide by 15
45/15 = 15x/15
x = 3 hours
Answer 3 hours
