Question

7. Movers, Not Shakers moving company charges $800 plus $16 per hour. Hernia Movers

charges $720 plus $21 per hour.

a. After how many hours, h, would the two moving companies cost the same amount?




b. What would that amount be?

Answer 1

a.16

b.1056

Explanation:

a. So we know that Not Shakers charges 800 dollars + 16 per hour, so we can call that 800 + 16h. We also know that Hernia Movers charges 720 dollars + 21 per hour, so we can call that 720 + 21h.

Now in order to find when they will have the same amount, we have to solve for h.

Equation:

800 + 16h= 720+21h

800=720+5h

5h=80

h=16

The two companies will have the same amount after 16 hours.

b. Now we have to find that amount, so all we have to do is replace h with 16. so 720 + 21(16) = 1056.

Therefore, the amount will be 1056 dollars.
