Question
An art class cost $45 for materials and then $10 per class. Write an equation to represent the total spent for any given number of art classes.
Responses

y= 45x+10
y= 45x+10

y= 10x+45
y= 10x+45

y= -10x-45
y= -10x-45

y= -45x+10

Answer 1

To represent the total spent for any given number of art classes, you need to account for both the initial fixed cost for materials and the variable cost per class.

- The fixed cost for materials is $45.
- The cost per class is $10, and if you have \( x \) classes, that cost would be \( 10x \).

Putting this information together, the equation representing the total spent \( y \) can be written as:

\[ y = 10x + 45 \]

So the correct response is:

**y = 10x + 45**
