Question

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The

daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $400 and the daily rate
for each partner is $900. How much would the law firm charge the client
daily if 9 associates and 5 partners were assigned to the case? How much
would the law firm charge the client daily if a associates and p partners were
assigned to the case?

Answer 1

The system 800x+1300y=12300 and y = x+3 can be used to determine the number of associate assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case where x represent the number of associates and y represent the number of partner

Explanation:

Per day charge of each associate = $800

Per day charge of each partner = $1300

Total charged per day = $12300

Let,

x be the number of associates

y be the number of partners

According to given statement;

800x+1300y=12300 Eqn 1

y = x+3 Eqn 2

The system 800x+1300y=12300 and y = x+3 can be used to determine the number of associate assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case where x represent the number of associates and y represent the number of partners
