Question 890398: A couple have bought a new house and are comparing quotes from two moving companies for moving their furniture. Company A charges $80 for the truck and $55 per hour for the movers. Company B charges $70 for the truck and $65$ per hour for the movers Create a cost equation for each company where y is the total cost and x is the number of hours of labor. Write a system of equations. Find the break even point.
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For A: y = 80 + 55x
For B: y = 70 + 65x
When x = 1, A = 135, B = 135
When x = 2, A = 190, B = 200
The break even point is 1 hour. Greater than 1 hour and Company A is the better value. Less than 1 hour and Company B is the better value.
