Question

PLEASE HELP!

Arlene is comparing the prices of two truck rental companies. Company A charges $7 per hour and an additional $30 as service charges. Company B charges $8 per hour and an additional $40 as service charges.

Part A: Write an equation to represent each company's total charges for renting a truck for a certain number of hours. For both equations (one for Company A and one for Company B), define the variable used. (4 points)

Part B: Which company would charge less for renting a truck for 8 hours? Justify your answer. (3 points)

Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to rent a truck for 2 hours? (3 points)

Answer 1

The answer to part A is, Company A's equation is, 7x+30. Company B's equation is 8x+40. The variable x is used to represent the number of hours you drive in each truck.

The answer to part B is, Company A will charge less for renting a truck for 8 hours because you need to substitute the x in each equation for the number 8, and doing this to both equations, then solving them, will result in you paying less to ride with Company A.

work for part b: Company A: 7 (8) + 30 Company B: 8 (8) + 40

The answer for part C is, you will save $12 renting a truck from Company A apart from Company B.

work for part c: Company A: 7 (2) + 30= 44 Company B: 8 (2) + 40= 56
