Question

James has a dog grooming service. He charges a flat rate of $50 per month, plus $10 per grooming. Bradly does not charge a monthly fee for a dog grooming service , but he charges $35 per grooming . Write and solve an equation to find the numbers of grooming visits w for which James and bradly would charge the same amount

Answer 1

50m + 10g = 35g

Explanation:

Answer 2

The numbers of grooming visits for which James and Bradly would charge the same amount is 2

Explanation:

Let

w -----> the numbers of grooming visits

y ----> the charge in dollars

we know that

James

`y=10w+50` ----> equation A

Bradly

`y=35w` ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

`35w=10w+50`

Solve for w

`35w-10w=50`

`25w=50`

`w=2`

therefore

The numbers of grooming visits for which James and Bradly would charge the same amount is 2
