Question

The Johnson family is going to build a new home. They need to have working drawings of their house plans created by a design firm. They will choose between Rock the House Digital Designs and Elegant Home Architects. Rock the House Digital Designs charges $500.00 for the initial consultation with the Johnson family, plus $50.00 for every additional hour of work for the house plans. Elegant Home Architects charge $75.00 per hour for the house plans. Let ℎ represent the number of hours for which the Johnson family hires the design firm. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The Elegant Home Architects charges are less than Rock the House Digital Designs charges for hours worked more than 2.

If the number of hours worked is equal to 2 than both would charge the same and if the hours are less than 2 then Rock the House Digital Designs will be a better option .

Explanation:

Let ℎ represent the number of hours for which the Johnson family hires the design firm.

Suppose the Johnson family hires the design firm for ten hours so h= 10

Then the charges by the Rock the House Digital Designs will be

$ 500 + 50(10)= $ 500+ $500= $1000

And the charges for the services by Elegant Home Architects will be

$75.00(10) = $ 750

Therefore the Elegant Home Architects charges are less than Rock the House Digital Designs charges.

But if the number of hours worked is equal to 2 than both would charge the same and if the hours are less than 2 then Rock the House Digital Designs will be a better option .

Rock the House Digital Designs

For 2 hours

$ 500 + 50(2)= $300

For 1 Hour

$500 + 50 (1)= $ 550

Elegant Home Architects

For 2 hours

$75.00(2) = $ 300

For 1 Hour

$75.00(1) = $ 75
