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=25t
p equals 25 t

p=10t−15
p equals 10 t minus 15

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

p=10t+15

Answer 1

To determine how much Jax can earn, we need to account for the base fee and the hourly rate.

Jax charges a base fee of $15 plus an additional $10 for each hour worked. Therefore, the equation to represent his earnings (or profit) can be structured as follows:

• Base fee: $15
• Hourly rate: $10 per hour, which is multiplied by time \( t \).

So the equation for profit \( p \) would be:

\[ p = 10t + 15 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

p = 10t + 15
