Question

Company 2 charges $4600 for the first 550 feet of fence and $29 for each additional foot. Find the cost if Company 2 completes the job. Show your work. The total fencing is 615.21

Answer 1

All you have to do here is subtract 550 from 615.21, and then determine how much those remaining feet will cost. Add that to the original $4600 and you have your answer. I recommend using scrap paper.
