Camden needs to lease out a music studio to record his new album. The studio charges an initial studio-use fee plus an hourly fee for each hour in the studio. The studio charges $50 per hour of use and the total cost charged for 5 hours is $700. Write an equation for the function P ( t ) , P(t), representing the amount of money Camden would have to pay to use the studio for t t hours.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]P(t)=450+50t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Studio charge $50 per hour and fixed charge for initial use

For 5 hours, it charges $700

Suppose x is the fixed charge

[tex]\therefore 700=x+50\times 5\\\Rightarrow x=700-250\\\Rightarrow x=\$450[/tex]

For t hours, studio charges

[tex]\Rightarrow P(t)=450+50t[/tex]
