.
Let h = hours needed for move
then
.
Cost of Heavy Lifters:
25h + 130
Cost of Quick Move:
50h + 55
.
For what values h (hours) does Quick Move offer the better deal?
"cost of Quick Move" < "cost of Heavy Lifters"
50h + 55 < 25h + 130
25h + 55 < 130
25h < 75
h < 3 hours (this is what they're looking for)
