To find how many hours of work are included in a $210 bill for a consultation, we need to set up an equation based on the consultant's charges. The consultant charges $45 for each hour worked, plus a flat $30 consulting fee.
So, if we let \( h \) represent the number of hours worked, the total charge can be expressed as:
\[ \text{Total Charge} = (\text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours}) + \text{Flat Fee} \]
In this case:
\[ \text{Total Charge} = 45h + 30 \]
We want this total charge to equal $210, so we set up the equation:
\[ 45h + 30 = 210 \]
Therefore, the correct equation to find how many hours (h) of work are included in a $210 bill for a consultation is:
\[ 45h + 30 = 210 \]
