Answer
$10,612.80
Work Step by Step
You are given the following:
Cost per hour of operating the aircraft = $2948$
$t$ = number of hours
$2948t$ = total cost to operate the aircraft for $t$ hours
You are supposed to find the total cost to operate the aircraft for 3.6 hours, so $t=3.6$.
Since you already have an expression for the total cost given $t$, just plug in the value for $t$ and solve.
$2948t=2948\times3.6=10612.80$
And remember your unit, which in this case is dollars.
