Let's assume that the makeup artist worked for "x" number of hours at the wedding.
The equation that models this situation using function notation would be:
f(x) = $40 (travel cost) + $20 (hourly rate) * x (number of hours worked)
Given that the bride received a bill for $100, we can now write the equation as:
100 = 40 + 20x
Subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation, we have:
60 = 20x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 20:
x = 3
Therefore, the makeup artist worked for 3 hours at the wedding.
A makeup artist charges $40 to travel to a wedding, plus $20 per hour for the makeup she is doing at the wedding. The bride receives a bill for $100. How many hours did the make up artist work at the wedding? First write an equation that models this situation using function notation, then solve. (1 point)
