A plumber charges a flat fee of $79 to visit a home and examine a clogged drain. The plumber charges an additional $21 per hour spent fixing the drain. The total cost, c (in dollars), for fixing a drain that takes, h hours is given by the following function.
C(h)=79+21h

(a) What is the total cost for fixing a drain that takes 7 hours?

(b) If the plumber charges a total of $310, how many hours did he spend fixing the drain?

Respuesta :

A) C=79+21(7)
That gives you an answer of $226

B) C= 310
310 = 79 + 21h
first subtract 79 from each side
231 = 21h
Then divide by 21 to isolate the hours
11=h

Hope this helps!
