Question

A painter needs to rent extra equipment for a large job. The graph shows the rental costs for the equipment at two different stores.

Answer 1

C. (120, 40)

Explanation:

The time and cost at which the two stores charge the same amount is the point at which the red and blue line intersects.

From the graph below:

Tracing the circled point to the x and y axis, we have that:

`\begin{gathered} x=120\text{ minutes} \\ y=\$40 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the time and cost at which the two stores charge the same amount is:

`(120,40)`

The correct option is C.
