Question

A construction company charges $18 per hour for debris removal, plus a one time fee for the use of the trash dumpster. the total fee for eight hours of service was $219, right and solve a linear equation to find a one time fee for the trash dumpster.

Answer 1

One time fee for the trash dumpster is $75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of debris removal = $18 per hour

Total number of hours = 8

Let,

Total number of hours = x

One time fee of trash dumpster = y

According to given statement;

18x+y=219

As we know the number of hours, therefore,

$18(8)+y=219\\144+y=219\\Subtracting\ 144\ from\ both\ sides\\144-144+y=219-144\\y=75$

One time fee for the trash dumpster is $75.
