Answer 1

The company will pay 24.75h+43 AED if they hire both workers.

Explanation:

Given that:

Project fee of Hamda = AED 25

Per hour charges = AED 10.50

Let,

h be the number of hours

y = 10.50h + 25

Project fee of Layla = AED 18

Per hour charges = AED 14.25

y = 14.25h + 18

Total amount to hire both.

Total cost = y+y

Total cost = 10.50h+25+14.25h+18

Total cost = 24.75h+43

Hence,

The company will pay 24.75h+43 AED if they hire both workers.
