here is an example of a linear expression word problem matt is starting a dog walking business he charges a one time meeting fee of $10 and $14 per 30 minute walk what is the cost of 6 walks

Answer 1

To find the total cost of 6 dog walks for Matt's business, you can set up the problem using a linear expression.

1. Meeting fee: There is a one-time fee of $10.
2. Cost per walk: Matt charges $14 for each 30-minute walk.

To calculate the total cost for 6 walks, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Meeting Fee} + (\text{Cost per Walk} \times \text{Number of Walks}) \]

Plugging in the numbers:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 10 + (14 \times 6) \]

First, calculate the total cost of the walks:

\[ 14 \times 6 = 84 \]

Now add the meeting fee:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 10 + 84 = 94 \]

Thus, the total cost for 6 walks is $94.
