Question

Grayson charges $35 per hour plus a $35 administration fee for tax preparation. Ian charges $45 per hour plus a $15

administration fee. If h represents the number of hours of tax preparation, for what number of hours does Grayson
charge more than lan?

Answer 1

Grayson: 35h + 35 = y
Ian: 45h + 15 = y

(Substituting first hour in h)
35h + 35 = y
35(1) + 35
y = 70$ in the first hour for Grayson

45h + 15 = y
45(1) + 15
y = 60$ in the first hour for Ian

Grayson charges > Ian charges

(Substituting second hour in h)
35h + 35 = h
35(2) + 35
105$ in the second hour for Grayson

45h + 15 = h
45(2) + 15
135$ in the second hour for Ian

Grayson charges < Ian charges

Answer:
In the first hour Grayson charges more than Ian.
