Answer:
The two singers will charge the same amount for money at 3.53 hours
Explanation:
Let the number of hours be represented by y
Ida needs to hire a singer for her wedding.
Singer A is offering his services for an initial $80 in addition to $13.35 per hour.
= $80 + $13.35(y)
= 80 + 13.35y
Singer B is offering her services for an initial $86 in addition to 11.65 per hour.
= $86 + $11.65 × y
= 86+ 11.65y
When will the two singers charge the same amount for money?
Singer A = Singer B
80 + 13.35y = 86+ 11.65y
Collect like terms
= 13.35y - 11.65y = 86 - 80
1.7y = 6
y = 6/1.7
y = 3.5294117647 hours
Approximately = 3.53 hours
The two singers will charge the same amount for money at 3.53 hours
