Austin is comparing the prices of two truck rental companies. Company a charges $4 per hour and an additional $70 as service charges. Company b charges $5 per hour and an additional $60 as service charges. Part a: write and equation to represent each conpanys total charges for renting a truck for a certain number of hours. For both equations( one for company a and one for company b ), define the variable used. Part b: which company would charge less for renting a truck for 6 hours? Justify your answer. Part c: how much money is saved by using the services of company b instead of company a to rent a truck for 7 hours?

Answer 1

company a: 70 plus 4 times (how many hours)
company b: 60$ plus 5 times (how many hours)
PART A 70+four(x) B 60+5x
THE VARIABLE REPRESENTS THE HOURS THE TRUCK WAS RENTED
PART B company a charges 9four dollars to rent the truck
company b charges 90 dollars to rent the truck
PART C: you would have to solve the equation like this to find PART C
A: 70+four(7)=98 B: 60+5(7)=95
so the answer for part c would be he saved 3 dollars

H= blank amount of hours
B) Company A 4(6)+70=94
Company B 5(6)+60=90

C) Company A 4(7)+70=98
Company B 5(7)+60=95
Company B will charge 3 dollars less thanCompany A
