hello!! how are you all? <3 im not fine cuz i got another math question.. </3
You are offered three different jobs. You will work for 8 hours per day. Which job pays you the most money? Explain your steps to justify your answer.
Job A will offer you $25 for the first hour of work and then $20 for each additional hour.
Job B will offer you y=23x where x is the number of hours worked.
Job C will pay you according to the graph below (idk how i can show the graph but x = # of hours and y = the money)
plz explain as well because i want to write in my notes :)

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
gtg be back to help just hang in there
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
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
