Jax tutors algebra students for a base fee of $15 plus an additional $10 an hour. Which equation is used to determine how much Jax can earn, where p is profit and t is time?(1 point)

Question

Responses

p=10t−15
p equals 10 t minus 15

p=10t+15
p equals 10 t plus 15

t=10p+15
t equals 10 p plus 15

p=25t

Answer 1

To determine how much Jax can earn, we can break down his earnings:

• He charges a base fee of $15.
• He charges an additional $10 for each hour worked (denoted as \(t\)).

So the total amount Jax earns (which we can denote as profit, \(p\)), can be represented with the equation:

\[ p = 10t + 15 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

p = 10t + 15
