To determine how much Jax can earn in profit, we need to consider both the base fee and the hourly fee. Jax charges a base fee of $15 and an additional $10 for each hour worked.
The equation that represents this situation is:
\[ P = 10t + 15 \]
Where:
- \( P \) is the total profit,
- \( t \) is the time in hours,
- \( 10t \) represents the earnings from the hourly rate,
- \( 15 \) is the base fee.
Therefore, the correct equation to determine how much Jax can earn is:
1. P = 10t + 15
