Question

Maria va a trabajar este verano en una peluqueria canina donde le ofrecen dos tipos de contratos. Con el contrato A cobra 800€ al mes, y con el contrato B cobra 300€ fijos mas 10 € por cada servicio de peluquería que realiza. ¿que contrato le conviene más?

Answer 1

Which contract is better relies on how many hairdressing services she makes each month. If she makes less than 50 hairdressing services, contract A is better, but if she makes more than 50 hairdressing services, contract B is better

Explanation:

Let's call:

x: number of hairdressing services made

y: salary received

With contract A:

y = 800

With contract B:

y = 300 + 10x

If contract A and B are equal:

300 + 10x = 800

10x = 800 - 300

x = 500/10

x = 50
