Complete Question

Pure Magic Lawns and Green is Pretty are competing for your lawn mowing business next summer. Pure Magic will only charge you a $15 startup fee and $ 8.00 per visit. Green's startup fee is $6.00 per visit. Their number of visits when their fee will be the same is?

A. 15 visits B. 2 visits C. 30 visits D. 45 visits

Answer:

A. 15 visits

Explanation:

Let the number of visits = x

Pure Magic will only charge you a $15 startup fee and $ 8.00 per visit.

$15 + $8.00 × x

15 + 8x

Green's startup fee is $45 but they only charge $6.00 per visit.

$45 + $6.00× x

45 + 6x

Their number of visits when their fee will be the same calculated as:

15 + 8x = 45 + 6x

Collect like terms

8x - 6x = 45 - 15

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15 visits
