Question

A dry cleaning shop charges its customers a basic service fee and then an additional fee of $6.25 per item. The equation f=6.25g+h describes the charges for a load of dry cleaning. What do the variables f, g and h represent in the formula? Match each variable on the left to its correct description on the right.

Answer 1

Answer:

f  = h+ 6.25 g   is the given expression.  Here,

f = Total amount paid to the dry cleaning shop

h =  Fixed basic rate of the shop

g =  Total number of items dry cleansed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume fixed basic fee in the dry cleaning shop =   h

Let us assume the total bill of dry cleaning = f

Also, the charge per item  = $6.25

Let us assume that the number of articles clearheaded  = g

So, the total cost of dry cleaning g clothes  =  g times (cost of 1 cloth dry cleaning)

= g x ($6.25)  =  6.25 g

Now, Total Bill = FIXED basic RATE + COST of cleaning g clothes

or f  = h  +   6.25 g

Hence, from the above equation we can see that:

f = Total amount paid to the dry cleaning shop

h =  Fixed basic rate of the shop

g =  Total number of items dry cleansed.
