To create a function based on Ari's pricing model, we can define the total amount he charges, \( C \), based on the number of hours worked, \( h \). The formula for his charge is:
\[ C(h) = 10 + 15h \]
Here, the flat rate is $10 and the hourly rate is $15.
Now, let's build a table using the function for 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 hours:
| Hours (h) | Total Charge (C(h)) | |-----------|----------------------| | 1 | \( 10 + 15(1) = 25 \) | | 1.5 | \( 10 + 15(1.5) = 32.5 \) | | 2 | \( 10 + 15(2) = 40 \) | | 2.5 | \( 10 + 15(2.5) = 47.5 \) | | 3 | \( 10 + 15(3) = 55 \) |
So the correct pairs (hours, cost) would be:
- (1, 25)
- (1.5, 32.5)
- (2, 40)
- (2.5, 47.5)
- (3, 55)
Based on the options given, the correct response is:
(1, 25), (1.5, 32.5), (2, 40), (2.5, 47.5), (3, 55)
