A housing contractor lists the following costs.
Fee and permits $13000
Cost per square foot $104
(a) Write a linear function that describes the cost of building a house with s square feet.
$13000-> constant
let the number of square feet be s
C%28s%29+=104s%2B13000
(b) Find the cost to build a house having s=1800 square feet.

$C%28s%29+=104%2A1800%2B13000
$C%28s%29+=187200%2B13000
$C%28s%29+=200200
