Question 95658
Heavy Lifting charges an $80 fee plus $35 per hour. Quick Move charges $55 per hour with no additional fees. 
------------
Let x be the number of hours worked
HL: cost = 80 + 35x where x is the number of hours worked
QM: cost = 55x
-------------------
a) Which mover provides a better deal for 2 hours of work? How did you arrive at your answer? 
HL: cost = 80 + 35*(2) = $150
QM: cost = 55*2 = $110
-------------------------
b) Which mover provides a better deal for 15 hours of work? How did you arrive at your answer? 
HL: cost = 80 +35*15 = $605
QM: cost = 55*15 = $825
--------------------------
c) For what values h (hours) does Quick Move offer the better deal? Express your answer as an inequality. Explain how you reached your answer.
INEQUALITY:
55x < 80+35x
Solve for x
