    A plumber charges $45 for a house call plus $25 for each hour worked.Let h represent the number of hours worked. Write the expression that shows how much a plumber charges for a job. Then find how much the plumbers charges for a job lasting 4 hours

    Set up the cost function C(h) where h is the number of hours:
    C(h) = Hours worked * hourly rate + house call fee
    C(h) = 25h + 45 <-- This is the expression for how much the plumber charges for a job

    Now determine how much the plumber charges for a job lasting 4 hours
    We want C(4)
    C(4) = 25(4) + 45
    C(4) = 100 + 45
    C(4) = $145
