(PLZ ANSWER QUICK 25 POINTS) Paul is going to have the exterior of his home painted. Painting USA charges $75.00 to come out and evaluate the house plus $25.00 per hour of labor. Upscale Home Painting does not charge to evaluate the house. However, they charge $40.00 per hour.

If it takes 25 hours to paint Paul’s house, the most cost effective company will be:
1. Painting USA.
2.Upscale Home Painting.
The cost of painting the house will be the same for both companies if the number of hours required to paint Paul’s house is:
1. 3 hours.
2. 5 hours.
3. 8 hours.

Answer:

Painting USA is better for part 1 because they will charge him $700 and if it takes 5 hours to paint the house they will charge the same amount. Hope this helps.
