Question

Two architects bid for a small government project, both

charging a flat fee added to an hourly rate. Amazing
Designs bids $250 plus $45 per hour, while Super Structures
bids $100 plus $60 per hour. At what point in time will the
two companies charge exactly the same amount?

Answer 1

10 hours

Explanation:

let x be the total number of hours

Amazing design total charge = 45x+250

super structures total charge = 60x+100

both companies charge the same amount when both equation equals

45x+250=60x+100

60x-45x=250-100

15x=150

x=10

therefore at 10 hours both companies will charge the same amount
