Your team has carefully researched and selected two possible painting companies.
Pro Painters charge $200 per hour plus $6000 in material fees.
Illusion Ltd charges $150 per hour plus $8000 in material fees.

Who is cheaper for 35 hours of work? Justify your answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pro Painters are cheaper.

Explanation:

The given problem can be solved by using a Linear equation in 2 variables.

Pro Painters charged $200/hour +$6000

Let the Paint job takes 'x' hours and the total cost is 'y'.

Total cost:

y= $200*x +6000$    (This is a linear equation )

total cost for 35 hours job

y= 200 *35 +6000 dollars

y=7000+6000 dollars

y=13000 dollars

Illusion Ltd charges $150/hour +$ 8000.

Let the Paint job takes 'x' hours and the total cost is 'y'.

Total cost

y =$150*x + 8000$

for 35 hours total cost

y= 150*35+8000

y=5250+8000

y=13250 dollars

now, As $13250>$13000

Hence Pro painters are cheaper.
