I need some serious mind help on ALGEBRA!!!

Question

My mind is fryed. So, I was wondering if an expert can help. Here is my word sentence question is this: A plumber charges $50 for a service call and $60 per service hour, t. If he answers a service call, he spends an hour and a half fixing the plumbing problem, and doesn't charge additional fees for parts. What is B, the total charge for the job when B = 60t + 50?

Answer 1

Your mind must be fried, because everything is right in front of you.  Let's see if this helps.  The plumber charges $60 per service hour t.  So the total charge would be the time amount (60t) plus the service call fee (50).  So the total charge for a call (B) is equal to 60t + 50.  In this problem t = 1.5.  So put that in and finish it.
