Answer 1

Answer:

$375+12ct_c+10lt_l$

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlie is running two different business.

She needs to pay:

- For the childcare business,

100$ for the materials

12$ per hour for each associate for her childcare business, so if we call:

$t_c$ = the number of hours worked by each associate

$c$ = the number of associates

The total cost for the childcare business is:

$C=100+12ct_c$ (1)

- For the lawn care business,

275$ for the materials

10$ per hour for each associate for her lawn care business, so if we call:

$t_l$ = the number of hours worked by each associate

$l$ = the number of associates

The total cost for the lawn care business is:

$L=275+10lt_l$ (2)

Therefore, the total expenses from both businesses is the sum of (1) and (2):

$T=C+L=100+12ct_c+275+10lt_l = 375+12ct_c+10lt_l$
