A landscape company charges $100 plus $15 per hour. Another company charges $75 plus $17 per hour. How long is a job that costs the same no matter which company is used?

Answer 1

Let x = time in hours
Since their costs must be the same,
100 + 15x = 75 + 17x
Solving,
100 - 75 = 17x - 15x
25 = 2x
x = 25/2 or 12.5 hours

Hope this helps~ :3
