Let us assume the number of hours after which the cost of Pam and Michelle will be same = x
Now let us concentrate on the information's already given in the problem.
Fixed charge taken by Pam = $125
Charge per hour taken by Pam = $15
Fixed charge taken by Michelle = $50
Charge per hour taken by Michelle = $20
Then
125 + 15x = 50 + 20x
20x - 15x = 125 - 50
5x = 75
x = 75/5
  = 15
So after 15 hours the charge taken by Pam and Michelle will be the same. I hope the procedure for doing this type of problem is clear to you.

One column of numbers consists of 33, 58, and 17. When the digits of the
Tom [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

Only (B) is correct.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let, if the numbers in 2nd column are added  , the sum is  same as the sum of numbers in the 1st column and obviously all are integers and the sum is,

   (33 + 58 +17) =108---------(1)

Now , let the  3 numbers in 2nd column are,

 1. a \times 100 + b \times 10 + c

2.  d \times 100 + e \times 10 + f

and

3. g \times 100 + h \times 10 + i

So, the sum of the digits of the numbers  in the 2nd colum  are,

 ( a + b +c +d +e +f +g +h + i)  -------------(2)

Now, c +f +i =  8 or 18 (since the last digit is 8 and  0 ≤ c + f +i ≤ 27)

Now,

 sum of the numbers in 2nd column,

= (a + d + g) \times 100 + (b +e +h) \times 10 + (c + f + i) =108

  = 1 \times 100 + 0 \times 10 + 8  -----------(3)

or = 0 \times 100 + 10 \times 10 + 8 -------------(4)

or = 0 \times 100 + 9 \times 10 + 18 -----------(5)

it must fall in one of above 3 forms i.e., (3) or (4) or (5)

in case (3),

(a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i) =  (1 +8) = 9 ---- (6)

in case (4)

(a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i) =  (10+8) = 18 and (1 + 8) =9 ---------(7)

in case (5)

(a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i) = (9 + 18) = 27 and 2 + 7 = 9 -------(8)

So, when the sum of numbers in the 2nd column is equal to the sum of numbers in the 1st column, the sum of digits of the numbers in  the 2nd column will be 9.

So, when the sum of digits of the numbers in  the 2nd column is not  9, the sum of those numbers won't be equal to the sum of numbers in the 1st column.

So, only (B) is correct.

[Note , that (C) is false. e.g. when the numbers in 2nd column is 6 , 1 and 2,  then (6 +1 +2) = 9 ≠ 108 .]
