Full solution

Q. Anumeha is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee of $10\$10 plus a constant fee for each hour of work. Her fee for a 55-hour job, for instance, is $35\$35. Let yy represent Anumeha's fee (in dollars) for a single job that took xx hours for her to complete.
  1. Identify Total Fee: Identify the total fee for a 55-hour job.\newliney=$35 y = \$35
  2. Identify Initial Fee: Identify the initial fee.\newlineInitial fee=$10 \text{Initial fee} = \$10
  3. Subtract Initial Fee: Subtract the initial fee from the total fee to find the fee for 55 hours of work.\newline$35$10=$25 \$35 - \$10 = \$25
  4. Divide Remaining Fee: Divide the remaining fee by the number of hours to find the constant fee per hour.\newline$255 hours=$5 per hour \frac{\$25}{5 \text{ hours}} = \$5 \text{ per hour}
