EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
A recording studio charges musicians an initial fee of $50 to record an album. Studio time costs an additional $35 per hour.
Recording Studio
Write an equation that gives the total cost of an album as a function of studio time (in hours).
a.
Find the total cost of recording an album that takes 10 hours of studio time.
b.

SOLUTION
EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
The cost changes at a constant rate, so you can write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the total cost.
a.

Identify the rate of change and the starting value.
Write a verbal model. Then write the equation.
Rate of change, m: cost per hour
Starting value, b: initial fee
STEP 1
STEP 2
C = t35 + 50

Substitute 10 for t and simplify.
b. Evaluate the function for t = 10.
The total cost C is given by the function C = 35t + 50 where t is the studio time (in hours).
ANSWER
Use unit analysis to check the equation.CHECK
EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
C = 35(10) + 50 = 400
ANSWER
The total cost for 10 hours of studio time is $400.
hourdollars = hours + dollarsdollars
