We set up a proportion: ?/42,000= 3/5
Cross multiply:
5*?= 3*42,000
⇒ ?= 3*42,000/5= 25,200
3/5 of 42,000 is 25,200~
The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Company A offers $6,000 for the first month and increases the salary each month by $5,000.
Company B offers $700 for the first month but doubles the payments each month.
We need to determine which month company B's payment is greater than company A's payment.
Step 2:
According to the table, at month 6 company A pays $31,000 while company B pays $22,400.
However after this month, in the seventh-month company A pays $36,000 while company B pays $44,800, which is higher than company A's salary.
So The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.
