Question

(PLEASE HELP, LAST QUESTION ON MY TEST) Jada’s lawn mowing service charges $28 an hour plus a $20 fee to cover gas for the mower. Mai’s lawn service charges $16 an hour, but a $44 fee. For how many hours will Jada’s service be cheaper than Mai’s?

Answer 1

Jada: $28 • 2 hrs = $56 + $20 fee = $76
Mai’s: $16 • 2 hrs = $32 + $44 fee = $76
So jada’s service would be cheaper for 1 hrs.
