For one child, a childcare facility charges $350 per month for preschool and $5.00 per hour for each additional hour for after-school care. The function below can be used to determine f(h), the monthly fee for after-school care and preschool, where h represents the number of hours spent in after-school care. f(h) = 350 + 5h If the total monthly bill for one child was $750, what was the total number of hours the child spent in after-school care? A. 100 B. 90 C. 88 D. 80

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function  :

[tex]f(h)=350+5h[/tex] (I)

Where [tex]f(h)[/tex] is the monthly fee for after - school care and preschool.

Where [tex]h[/tex] represents the number of hours spent in after - school care.

We know that the total monthly bill for one child was $750 ⇒

[tex]f(h)=750[/tex]

Using (I) we will find the value of the hours ''[tex]h[/tex]'' that verifies the expression ⇒

[tex]f(h)=750=350+5h[/tex] ⇒

[tex]750=350+5h\\750-350=5h\\400=5h\\h=\frac{400}{5}=80[/tex]

We find that the value of the hours ''[tex]h[/tex]'' is 80 hours.

The total number of hours the child spent in after - school care is D. 80
