Question

Emma wants to hire a photographer to take graduation photos for her and her friends. She found a local photographer who charges $120 per hour. She also found an out-of-town photography student who charges $75 per hour, plus a $90 travel fee.

Answer 1

It would take 2 hours to have an equivalent price.

Explanation:

75*2 hours = $150

150+90=$240

2 hours

Answer 2

Both options would cost you $240 for a 2-hour photoshoot. Although the out-of-town photography student has a lower hourly rate, the additional travel fee brings the total cost to the same as the local photographer.
