Question

Someone please help with this question

A business owner wants to have the front window of her store painted and is considering two artists for the job. Mariana has quoted a flat rate of $135 for the job. Vincent's quote is $34 per hour, plus $67 to cover the cost of materials. Depending on how long it takes Vincent to paint the window, these two could end up charging the same amount. How much would it cost? How long would Vincent have to take?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mariana's quote: 135

Vicent's quote: 34x+67

Say x=1, 34(1)+67=101

For 1 hour of Vincent's work it would be $101.

Say x=2. 34(2)+67=135

Vincent would have to work for two hours to charge the exact same as Mariana.
