Question 455443: A painter can be paid one of two ways:
Plan A: $150 plus $18.00 per hour. Plan B: Straight $26.00 per hour. For what range of hours is plan B better than plan A? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 150+18x=26x
150=8x
75/4=x
18.75 hours
at 18.75 hours they are equal so anything more then the $26 plan is better for the painter.
