Quick move charges a flat rate of $55 a hour and Heavy lifting charges a fee of $80 and $35 an hour for what values h (hours ) Quick move offer a better deal?
.
Let h = number of hours it takes to move
then
Quick Move charges: 55h
Heavy Lifting charges: 35h+80
.
First, determine the number of hours that the cost would be the same by setting the expressions above equal to each other:
55h = 35h+80
20h = 80
h = 80/20
h = 4 hours
This means if the move takes 4 hours, the cost of either company would be the same. Therefore, if the move takes LESS than 4 hours, Quick Move would offer a better deal:
h < 4 hours
