Question

Happy Paws charges $18.00 plus $3.50 per hour to keep a dog during the day. Woof Watchers charges $12.00 plus $4.75 per hour. Complete the equation and solve it to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal. Use the variable h to represent the number of hours.

Answer 1

18 + 3.50h

12 + 4.75h

 

How many hours are they equal?

 

18 + 3.50h = 12 + 4.75h

18 - 12 = 4.75h - 3.50h

h = 4.8 hrs
