Question

janet is going to hire a makeup artist for a fashion show and is comparing prices. Austin charges $54 as a booking fee and an additional $80 per hour. Brad charges $69 per hour, plus a booking fee of $65. Depending on the length of the show, the cost could end up being the same for either artist. How long would the show be? What would the cost be?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanationF(t)= 24 + 36*t

G(t) = 22 + 38*t

They are the same when 24 + 36t = 22 + 38t

Everything to right side: 0 = 22 + 38t - 24 - 36t

0 = 2t - 2

2 = 2t

t=1

THey are the same at one hour.

Longer than 1 hour, the first one is cheaper.

Here's the table to compare them side by side

t 24 + 36 t 22 + 38t

1/2 42 41

1 60 60

2 96 98

3 132 136
