Question

Hamster heaven charges an annual fee of $20 plus $2.50 for each day of hamster activities you attend. Hamster fun world charges an annual fee of $35 plus $1 for each day of hamster activities you attend. Write and solve a linear system using a method of your choosing and explain which company you would use for your hamster and why.

Answer 1

Answer: I wouldn’t be able to make a linear system right now, but it would be better to use Hamster Fun if it were long-term, and Hamster Heaven if it were short-term.

Step-by-step explanation:

HH (Hamster Heaven) charges 20$ plus one a day, and HF (the other) charges 35 plus one a day, so if you went for 80 days for either one:

HH: 20 + (2.50 x 80) =

20+200: 220

HF: 35 + (1 x 80)= 115

If it were for only a day or two, it would be more efficient to use Hamster Heaven.
