You can put this solution on YOUR website! Heavy Lifters and Quick Move, to discuss their rates. Heavy Lifters charges an $80 fee plus $35 per hour. Quick Move charges $55 per hour with no additional fees.
Let number of hours be x
Quick move charges 55x
..
Heavy lifters charges 80+35x
Quick move charges < Heavy Lifters
55x<80+35x
add -35x
55x-35x<80
20x<80
/20
x<20
For less than 20 hours Quick move is a better deal.
