Question

I don't know the answer can someone help me answer it

Answer 1

A. We can write a function to represent the cost of each quote using the information provided.

For Decks and More:

C(h) = 1800 + 70h

Where C is the cost and h is the number of hours of labor.

For Just Decks:

C(h) = 2000 + 50h

Where C is the cost and h is the number of hours of labor.

B. To determine which company Aaron should use, we need to substitute the estimated number of hours into the functions for both companies and compare the total costs.

For Decks and More:

C(18) = 1800 + 70(18) = 1800 + 1260 = 3060

For Just Decks:

C(18) = 2000 + 50(18) = 2000 + 900 = 2900

Since Just Decks quote is cheaper, Aaron should use Just Decks.
