"the band charges a flat fee of $200 plus $125 per hr after first hr. what is the equation (f=?"


what is the equation that best describes the "c" cost of the band in relation to the time "t" that they play

[Unknown008]

200 is the constant price and will be there regardless of the number of hours.

So, for the time being, you have:

c = 200

Now, for each additional hour, t, they have to pay $125.

This means, that for 1 hour, they have to pay $125, for 2 hours, they pay (2 x 125 =) $250, for 3 hours, they pay (3 x 125 =) $375 and so on.

So, for each hour t, they pay 125t

The total cost c, is then:

c = 200 + 125t
