Question

Tigris and Jalen each run a moving company. Tigris charges $100, plus $50 for each room in the house. Jalen charges $250, plus $25 for each room in the house. How many rooms would your house have for the two movers to charge to same?

Answer 1

Your house would have 6 rooms.

Explanation:

If you wrote them out, like 150 over 275, 200 over 300, you would eventually reach 400. It would take you 6 columns to reach 400 over 400, so your house would have 6 rooms.

Hope this helped!
