A plumber charges his customers $25.70 per hour, h, plus a $54.50 service fee. On Tuesday, he earns $118.75 for fixing Mrs. Goodwill's
sink.
Mrs. Goodwill also hires an electrician to repair several damaged
outlets in her home. The electrician charges $35.22 for each individual
outlet repair, r, plus a $62 service fee.
If the electrician charges Mrs. Goodwill a total of $167.66, which
equation shows how to determine the number of individual outlet
repairs correctly?
A. 35.22-62r = 167.66
B. 35.22r -62 = 167.66
C. 35.22 +62r = 167.66
D. 35.22r + 62 = 167.66

D

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying 35.22 with r since this amount is charged for every repair and then adding 62 since that is the additional fee

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
