Question 1123652: A roofing contractor purchases a shingle delivery truck with a shingle elevator for $35,700. The vehicle requires an average expenditure of $6.50 per hour for fuel and maintenance, and the operator is paid $12.50 per hour.
(a) Write a linear equation giving the total cost C of operating this equipment for t hours. (Include the purchase cost of the equipment.) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! C=$35,700+19.00t
one could have two t terms, one for fuel and maintenance and the other for operator, but they may be combined.
