Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.
Answer:
Lines are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given lines are
Rearrange the equation in the slope intercept form that is
where
is the slope.
<em>First Line:</em>

compare it with 
slope (
) of first line 
<em>Second Line:</em>

divide both by 

compare it with 
slope
of second line 
Since slope of two lines are equal

hence these lines are parallel.
Answer: Choice B
If you lower your rates by 6% you will increase the number of occupancies by 12%
========================================================
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Demand is found by dividing the percent change of demand over the percent change in price

If the price drops 6% leads to a 12% increase in demand, then we get this elasticity

The absolute value of that result is 2. We work backwards going from 2 to see the relationship between the 12% and 6%.
-------------
Side notes:
- Choice A is incorrect as a price elasticity of demand larger than 2 means we have elastic (rather than inelastic) demand.
- Choice C is incorrect because while raising rates does bring in more money in certain situations, there's a limit to how much the price goes up before people stop showing up. The prices can't go up forever. Also, the fact we have an elastic product means people are either forgoing this hotel or finding a substitute.
- Choice D is incorrect. Products with high demand elasticity usually have substitutes. Any slight change in the price leads people to seek cheaper options. Unless we're dealing with a small town there are usually multiple hotels to choose from.
