Keylie is a freelance web designer. She charges her clients a $20 consulting fee plus $45 per hour worked. If they need images, Keylie charges an additional $15 fee for image research. Which graph accurately represents how much money Keylie will make if she has to work for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours for a client and has to find images?(1 point)

To determine how much money Keylie will make for various hours worked and the additional image research fee, we can calculate the total cost for the different hours:

  1. Base formula: Total cost = Consulting fee + (Hourly rate * Hours worked) + Image research fee
  2. Details:
    • Consulting fee = $20
    • Hourly rate = $45 per hour
    • Image research fee = $15

Now let's calculate the total cost for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours:

  • 4 hours: \[ Total = 20 + (45 \times 4) + 15 = 20 + 180 + 15 = 215 \]

  • 6 hours: \[ Total = 20 + (45 \times 6) + 15 = 20 + 270 + 15 = 305 \]

  • 8 hours: \[ Total = 20 + (45 \times 8) + 15 = 20 + 360 + 15 = 395 \]

  • 10 hours: \[ Total = 20 + (45 \times 10) + 15 = 20 + 450 + 15 = 485 \]

  • 12 hours: \[ Total = 20 + (45 \times 12) + 15 = 20 + 540 + 15 = 575 \]

Now we have the following points for hours worked and total earnings:

  • (4 hours, $215)
  • (6 hours, $305)
  • (8 hours, $395)
  • (10 hours, $485)
  • (12 hours, $575)

To visualize, we can compare this with the graph scales described:

  • Since the y-axis needs to cover up to at least $575 and the x-axis represents the hours (from 0 to 15), we find that the second and third images, which show the y-axis ranging from 0 to 600 in increments of 100, provide the correct scale for our data.

Therefore, the correct graph representation for Keylie's earnings would be the one with the y-axis ranging from 0 to 600 in increments of 100 (either the second or the third image, as they match the data we computed).
