Question

Bridget needs an actor actor is offering her services for initial $250 in addition to $40 per day actor beers offering her services for an initial $160 in addition to $50 per day when will the two actors change the same amount of money

Answer 1

Answer:it will take 9 days for both actors to charge the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of days it will take the cost of hiring either actor A or actor B to be the same.

Let y represent the cost of hiring actor A for x days.

Let z represent the cost of hiring actor B for x days.

Actor A is offering her services for initial $250 in addition to $40 per day. It means that

y = 250 + 40x

Actor B is offering her services for an initial $160 in addition to $50 per day. It means that

z = 160 + 50x

To determined the number of days when both costs would be the same, we would equate equation y to equation z. It becomes

250 + 40x = 160 + 50x

50x - 40x = 250 - 160

10x = 90

x = 90/10 = 9
