Question

Company A charges $125 annual fee plus $5 per hour car share fee.

Company B charges $80 plus $10 per hour. What is the minimum number of

hours that a car share needs to be used per year to make company A a better

deal?

Answer 1

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation: took the quiz

Answer 2

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.
