You can get 2 different moving companies to help you move. The first one charges $150 up front then $38 an hour. The second one charges $230 then $30 an hour, at what exact time will Both companies cost the same
Company 1: We set up the cost equation C(h) where h is the number of hours
C(h) = Hourly Rate * h + up front charge
C(h) = 38h + 150
Company 2: We set up the cost equation C(h) where h is the number of hours
C(h) = Hourly Rate * h + up front charge
C(h) = 30h + 230
The question asks for h when both cost equations C(h) are equal. So we set both C(h) equations equal to other:
38h + 150 = 30h + 230
To solve for h, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
h = 10
