Question

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $800 and the daily rate for each partner is $1500. How much would the law firm charge the client daily if 9 associates and 4 partners were assigned to the case? How much would the law firm charge the client daily if aa associates and pp partners were assigned to the case?

Answer 1

$8700

Explanation:

Associates cost $800 each, you have 9 associates, so multiply 800 by 9 which gives you: $800x 9= $7200.

Partners cost $1500 each, you have 4 partners, so multiply 1500 by 4 which gives you: $1500x 4=$6000.

Then add the two together like this: $7200+$1500= $8700.

Answer 2

The system 800x+1300y=12300 and y = x+3 can be used to determine the number of associate assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case where x represent the number of associates and y represent the number of partners.

Explanation:

Given,

Per day charge of each associate = $800

Per day charge of each partner = $1300

Total charged per day = $12300

Let,

x be the number of associates

y be the number of partners

According to given statement;

800x+1300y=12300 Eqn 1

y = x+3 Eqn 2

The system 800x+1300y=12300 and y = x+3 can be used to determine the number of associate assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case where x represent the number of associates and y represent the number of partners.
