Question

Janet’s cleaning service charges a $50 fee per visit plus $5 dollars every hour of cleaning. Damon’s cleaning service charges a flat rate of $15 per hour.
If you estimated you needed 4 hours of cleaning service, which would be the better deal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Damon

Step-by-step explanation:

Janet charges a $50 fee per visit plus $5 dollars every hour of cleaning.

y = 5x + 50

Damon charges a flat rate of $15 per hour.

y = 15x

Plug 4 into the given equations and solve.

y = 5x + 50

y = 5(4) + 50

y = 20 + 50

y = 70

y = 15(4)

y = 60

Damon's cleaning serving charges less.

Answer 2

X = 4
Janets
$50 = fee per visit + $5 = per visit

50 + 5x
50 + (5)(4)
50 + 20
= 70


Damon
15= rate per hour

15x
15(4)
60

Damon has a better deal
