Answer:

2.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Veteran Tutor

Charges = \$15 --- first session

Hourly\ Rate = \$60

College Graduate

Charges = \$45 --- first session

Hourly\ Rate = \$50

Required

Determine the number of hours they earn the same amount

Represent the hours with x

First, we need to calculate the total charges for the veteran tutor for x hours;

Total = 15 + 60x

Next, we need to calculate the total charges for the college graduate tutor for x hours;

Total = 45x + 50

For them to earn the same amount, we have:

15 + 60x = 45x + 50

Solving for x

60x - 45x = 50 - 15

15x = 35

Divide through by 15

x = \frac{35}{15}

x = 2.33\ hours
