Question 367553: You are moving to a new home. You decide to hire a moving company, but are unsure which company to choose. You search online and are interested in contacting two companies, Heavy Lifters and Quick Move, to discuss their rates. Heavy Lifting charges an $80 fee plus $35 per hour. Quick Move charges $55 per hour with no additional fees.
Which mover provides a better deal for 2 hours of work? How did you arrive at your answer?
Tips: We need to solve the charge from the two companies for two hours of work. We will multiply the hourly rate by the number of ours. Heavy Lifters have a fee we need to add.
