You can put this solution on YOUR website! Clown City charges $100 for incidentals plus $30 per hour for hiring a clown to perform.
---
C(x) = 100+30x where "x" is the number of hours.
-----
Party Performers charges $120 for incidentals plus $25 per hour.
P(x) = 120 + 25x where "x" is the number of hours
-----
How many hours would Linda need to plan on so that Party Performers is less expensive than Clown City?
Solve: P(x) < C(x)
120+25x < 100+30x
20 < 5x
x > 4 hrs (P(x) is cheaper if # of hours is greater than 4)
