Happy Paws charges $19.00 plus $3.50 per hour to keep a dog during the day. Woof Watchers charges
$13.00 plus $4.75 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:

Step-by-step explanation:

Happy paws: y = 3.50h + 19

Woof Watchers: y = 4.75h + 13

set them equal to eachother (this is the equation you need)

3.50h + 19 = 4.75h + 13

to find when they will be equal solve for h

6 = 1.25h

4.8 = h

so they will be equal at 4.8 hours
