Answer 3

Im not sure what they mean by part A. But imma give it a go... Company A- To clean 2 mattresses would be $60 for both and $26 as service charges, and a total of $86\

Company B- To clean 2 mattresses would be $56 for both and $30 as service charges, and a total of $86


Again, im not sure what they mean by Part A. But MAYBE this is what they mean.... I hope this helped?

Answer 4

And for part B-

Neither companies would charge more of less... They have the same prices for everything put together, but company B charges less for the cleaning and more for the service charges.
Where as company A charges more for for the cleaning and less more service charges...

So... Company A- would charge $120 for all four mattresses, and 52 for service... to get a total of $172...

And... company B- would charge $112 for cleaning all four mattresses, and $60 for service... to get a total of $172 dollars...

Again, you wouldn't pay more or less for either companies...


I hope this helped!
