Part A: Write equations to represent Company A's and Company B's total mattress cleaning charges for a certain number of mattresses. Define the variable used in the equations. (4 points) Part B: Which company would charge less for cleaning 4 mattresses? Justify your answer. (3 points) Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company B instead of Company A to clean 7 mattresses?

Answer 1

I think it's :
Part A ; $30 * (x) + $13
$28 * (x) + $15
Part B ; so $30 * 4 + $13 = $133 vs.
$28 * 4 + $15 = $111 so that would mean company B Would charge the least amount.
Part C ; the difference between company a and company B prices is $22.
