The description itself fits an application of a linear equation. There is no "work" or steps needed to form the equation.
Slope: 30, for 30 dollars per hour
Vertical Axis Intercept: 80, the number dollars minimum base price, Service Call
C: the cost which the plumber will charge
t: the time that the plumber works
(a), 
(b), How much time if C=140?
Just Let C=140 and solve for t.
