Question

A business owner wants to have the front window of his store painted and is considering two artists for the job. Brennan has quoted a flat rate of $84 for the job. Lisa's quote is $8 per hour, plus $60 to cover the cost of materials. Depending on how long it takes Lisa to paint the window, these two could end up charging the same amount. How long would Lisa have to take? How much would it cost?

Answer 1

It would take Lisa 3 hours to finish the painting since both Brennan and Lisa could end up charging the same amount of $84.

Data and Calculations:

Flat rate quoted by Brennan = $84

Rate quoted by Lisa = $8 h + $60

The number of hours for Lisa to finish the painting = 3 hours ($84 - $60)/$8

The total cost that Lisa would charge is $84 ($8 x 3 + $60).

Thus, it would take Lisa 3 hours to finish the painting since both Brennan and Lisa could end up charging the same amount of $84.
