Happy Paws charges $20.00 plus $4.50 per hour to keep a dog during the day. Woof Watchers charges $11.00 plus $5.75 per hour. Complete the equation and solve it to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal. Use the variable h to represent the number of hours.

The equation is: ______=______

The total cost of the services will be equal at __ hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is: 20 + 4.5h = 11 + 5.75h

The total cost of the services will be equal at 7.83 or 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is correct because it shows that these two scenarios equal the same amount of money when there is a certain amount of hours, or "h."

Here is how we solve the equation;

20 + 4.5h = 11 + 5.75h <-----Here is the original equation.

Service A                                                        Service B

1. 20 - 20 + 4.5h                         =               11 - 20 + 5.75h

2.4.5h - 5.75h =  -1.15h                             -9 + 5.75h/5.75 =

3. -1.15h/-1.15 = h                                              9/-1.15 = 7.83

                  h = 7.83 or 8 hours when rounded to the nearest hour

Hope this helps! :)
