Question

The function C(x) = 25x + 50 represents the labor cost (in dollars) for Certified Remodeling to build a deck, where x is

the number of hours of labor. The table shows sample labor costs from its main competitor, Master Remodeling.

Answer 1

• Master Remodeling

Explanation:

Original question is attached

Option 1

• C(x) = 25x + 50
• C(8) = 25*8 + 50 = $250

Option 2

• As per table, the rate of change is $30 per 2 hours.
• So 8 hours will cost
• $190 + $30 = $220

As we see the second option is cheaper so we should hire the Master Remodeling
