Esteban Tate · Answer 1

A) $40h+p=c

h = number of hours the repairs take

p = the costs of the parts

c = total cost of the repairs

B) h: 3 hours

p : $165

substitute the variable

40 (3) + 165

40 (3) = 120

120+165 = $285

Isaiah Bush · Answer 2

(a) c = 40h + p

(b) $285

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Total Cost = (Cost per hour x Number of Hours) + Total Cost of Parts

c = 40h + p

(b)

For this case, p = $165 and h = 3:

c = 40*3 + 165 = $285
