Question

A moving company charges a base rate of $55.00 plus $20.00 per hour. If the moving company charged Mr. Sanchez $110.00, which equation could be used to determine the number of hours it took the moving company? (h = hour)

Answer 1

Well 20 per hour can be 20h, then add the base rate and that equals the cost.

Answer 2

\[\text{cost}=55+20h\]\[h=\frac{\text{cost}-55}{20} \]

Answer 3

\[h=2.75 \text{ hours} \]
