Question 188977: The costs for services at two kennels are shown on the table.
Pet Care- Boarding($ per day)-$30/ Bathing($)- $15
Fido's- Boarding($ per day)- $28/ Bathing($)- $27
Joslyn plans to board her dog and have him bathed once during his stay. For what number of days will the cost for boarding and bathing her dog at each kennel ber the same? What will that cost be? If Joslyn plans a week-long vacation, which is the cheaper service? Explain.
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the number of days
:
cost of PC=30x+15
cost of F=28x+27
:
30x+15=28x+27
:
2x=12
:
x=6 days......cost would be 30(6)+15=$195
:
if this was for 7 days cost of PC=30(7)+15=225
cost of F=28(7)+27=223
:
so Fido's has the cheaper cost for 7 days........
