Mary’s yard is a mess. She needs to hire someone to prune her trees and shrubs. A landscaping service she calls quotes her a price of $15 consultation fee plus $8 an hour for the actual work. Mary’s neighbor has offered to help her out. She doesn’t charge a consultation fee, but does charge $10 an hour for her work.

Write two equations, one that describes the landscaping service charge and one that describes your neighbor’s charge. Let C equal the charge as a function of h, the number of hours worked.
a.C =15 + 10h
C =8h
b.C =10h + 8h
C =15
c.C =15 + 8h
C =10h
d.C =18h
C=15
