Acme movers charges $175 plus $40 per hour to move household goods across town. hank’s movers charges $75 per hour. for what lengths of time does it cost less to hire hank’s movers?

If the time is less than 5 hours cost less to hire Hank’s Movers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y > charge to move  household goods across town.

x > number of hours

we know that

Acme Movers

y=40x+175 > equation A

Hank’s Movers

y=75x > equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

75x=40x+175

solve for x

75x-40x=175

35x=175

x=5 hours

For x=5 hours the charge is the same in both company

therefore

For x < 5 hours cost less to hire Hank’s Movers

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
