Logan and evan work as consultants and get paid per project. Logan is paid a project fee of $26 plus $12 an hour. Evan is paid a project fee of $36 plus $15 an hour. Write an expression to represent how much a company will pay to hire both consultants for a project.
Please please please help me with this. I’ve been on this problem for over an hour.

Respuesta :

Americ
L= Logan's fee per project
E= Evan's fee per project
h= # of hours
T= total cost for both consultants

LOGAN
Add his project fee to his rate per hour ($12) times the number of hours (h)

L= $26 + $12h


EVAN
E= $36 + $15h


TOTAL COST FOR BOTH
Add the two equations above together for total cost for both consultants

T= ($26 + $12h) + ($36 + $15h)
combine like terms
T= ($26 + $36) + ( $12h + $15h)
T= $62 + $27h


ANSWER: T= $62 + $27h; the two consultants would be paid a $62 project fee plus $27 per hour.

Hope this helps! :)
