Answer 1

LOL the opening of ur question so sweet and fine sounding and then u get hit with it thats so funny lemme see if i can figure it out lmbo

Answer 2

gtg be back to help just hang in there

Answer 3

For each one, let the number of hours worked be x

Pay1 = 25 + 20(x-1) , the 25 is the first hour, but we have to subtract 1 from x
since that first hour is already taken care of

Pay2 = 23x

when are they equal? , when
23x = 25 + 20(x-1)
23x = 25 + 20x - 20
3x = 5
x = 5/3

Assuming he is paid by partial hours, the pay would be equal
at 5/3 hours and after that Pay2 would be better

e.g. suppose he worked for 5 hours
Pay1 = 25 + 20(4) = 105
Pay2 = 23(5) = 115
