Answer:

f(x) = $65x + $50

f(4.5) = $342.5

  The real-world interpretation of f(4.5) would be an emergency service call where they have to work for 4.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

         We will write a function where x is the hours. Since you pay $65 for every hour, we will multiply $65 by x. Next, there is a fee of $50 so we will add that onto the end.

     f(x) = $65x + $50

         Now, we will plug 4.5 into the function for x and solve.

     f(x) = $65x + $50

     f(4.5) = $65(4.5) + $50

     f(4.5) = $292.5 + $50

     f(4.5) = $342.5

         The real-world interpretation of f(4.5) would be an emergency service call where they have to work for 4.5 hours.
