Answer:
The two coaches will charge the same amount of money after working for 11 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume for m hours, they both will charge same amount.
For COACH A:
The initial Fee = $ 6,925
The per hour fee = $450
So, the fees in m hours = m x ( Per hour fees) = m x ($450) = 450 m
So, the total fees of Coach A in m hours = Initial Fee + fee for m hours
= $ 6,925 + 450 m
⇒ The total fees of Coach A in m hours = $ 6,925 + 450 m .... (1)
For COACH B:
The initial Fee = $ 5,000
The per hour fee = $725
So, the fees in m hours = m x ( Per hour fees) = m x ($725) = 725 m
So, the total fees of Coach B in m hours = Initial Fee + fee for m hours
= $ 5,000 + 725 m
⇒ The total fees of Coach B in m hours =$ 5,000 + 725 m .... (2)
Now, for m hours , they both charge the SAME AMOUNT fees
⇒$ 6,925 + 450 m = $ 5,000 + 725 m ( from (1) and (2))
or, 6925 - 5000 = 725 m - 450 m
or, 1925 = 175 m
or,m = 1925 / 175 = 11
or, m = 11
Hence, the two coaches will charge the same amount of money after working for 11 hours.
