Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: The electrician makes 40 dollars for EACH hour he works, meaning you'll need a variable behind that. Then, the electrician makes an extra $125.00 for each job he takes meaning the equation would be : 40h + 125 = 1205

Abe · Answer 2

Answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

40h is what you start out with since it costs 40 ever hour. then you add the service charge which makes it 40h + 125, and then since the total charge is 1205, that would complete the equation.
