Answer 1

Master Remodeling should be hired.

Explanation:

Certified Remodeling:

x hours cost:

C(x) = 25x + 50

So 8 hours are going to cost:

C(8) = 25*8 + 50 = 250

For the company certified modelling, 8 hours are going to cost $250.

Master Remodeling

For each 2 hours, the price increase $30(Because from 2 to 4 it increase 160-130 = 30, 4 to 6 190-160 = 30).

Then, the price for 8 hours of labor will be:

190 + 30 = 220

For the company Master Remodeling, 8 hours of labor will cost $220. It is cheaper than Certified Remodeling, so Master Remodeling should be hired.
