Question 493792: The problem is two parts:
part 1: A temporary agency offers two payment options:
Option 1: $25 daily fee plus $10/hour
Option 2: No daily fee but $15/hour
Write a mathematical model representing the total temp cost,C, for a FOUR day temporary administrative assistant in terms of x for the following.
Option 1: C=
Option 2: C=
Part 2: How many total hours would the temp need to work in the four day period for the cost of Option 1 to be less than Option 2. Set up an inequality and show your work algebraically using the information in part 1. Don't forget about the daily fee in Option 1 (it's a four day proposition).
Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since the number of hours is variable, let h represent the number of hours.
Our first option can be modeled by C=25*(4)+ 10h ---> 100+10h
Our second option can be modeled by C = 15h
We want to know when option 1 is less than option 2 so form an inequality.
And note that h cannot exceed 96 (24*4) since we are working in a four day proposition.
100 + 10h < 15h
100 < 5h
20 < h remember h cannot exceed 96 so, .
Hope this helped!
