A house painting company charges $376 plus $12 per hour. Another company $280 plus $15 per hour. A. how long is a job for which both companies will charge the same amount? B.What will the cost be?
Accepted Solution
A:
for company a ( $376 + $12 an hr) it would take 2 hours because 376+12= 388+12= 400 (376 + (12 x 2) )
for company b, ( $280 + $15 ) it would take 9 hours because 280 + 15 = 295 + 15 = 310 + 15 = 325 + 15 = 340 + 15 = 355 + 15 = 370 + 15 = 385 + 15 = 400 (280 + (15 x 8))
