Answer 1

Answer: Complete charges for 45 minute walk = $28.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Per walk charge = $6

Hourly rate = $30

Complete charges for x hour (in $) = 6+30x

Now, 1 minute = $\dfrac{1}{60}\ hour$  [ 1hour = 60 minutes]

45 minutes = $\dfrac{45}{60} \ hour = \dfrac{3}{4}\ hour$

Complete charges for 45 minute walk = $6+30\times\dfrac34=6+22.5=28.5$

Hence, Complete charges for 45 minute walk = $28.5
