Answer:

Greater than 9 hours.

Explanation:

Company A annual fees = $125

Company A share fee = $5 per hour

Let number of hour be x, then

Company A total fee = $125 + 5x

Similarly, Company B annual fees = $80

Company B share fee = $10 per hour

Let number of hour be x, then

Company B total fee = $80 + 10x

If company A is a better deal, then

125 + 5x < 80 + 10x

= 125 - 80 < 10x - 5x

= 45 < 5x

= x > 45÷ 5

= x > 9

So, number of hours must be greater than 9 hours.
