need help asap will give a medal A plumber charges $50 to come to a house and $20 an hour for work time. If h represents the number of hours worked, which expression gives the total amount the plumber charges? A. 50h + 20 B. 20h + 50 C. 20(h + 50) D. + 50

OpenStudy (rianiscool):

is it d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20h + 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that the answer is a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He charges $20 per hour, so that means each hour would equal 20 bucks. With that said we dont know how many hours so that would become the variable (h). So now we have 20 times how ever many hours he work plus the $50 they will be paying anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should give you enough information to solved your problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know right off that no matter how much time the plumber spends working on your toilet, he is going to charge $50 for the visit. That $50 is non-negotiable. 1 hours' labor or 100 hours' labor, he is making $50 for walking in your door. What makes him his money is the number of hours he actually spends working on your toilet, because he charges $20 per hour. So the number of hours he works on your toilet times $20 per hour is added to his $50 non-negotiable fee to give us an expression of 50 + 20h
