Answer: 6.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each case:

Happy paws: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (19) plus the product of the charge per hour (3.50) and the number of hours (h).

Happy Paws Cost = 19+3.50h

Woof Watchers: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (11) plus the product of the charge per hour (4.75) and the number of hours (h).

Woof Watcher Cost = 11+ 4.75h

Since both costs must be equal:

Happy Paws Cost =Woof Watcher Cost

So:

19+3.50h = 11+ 4.75h

Solving for h:

19-11 = 4.75h-3.50h

8 = 1.25h

8/1.25 =h

h = 6.4 hours

scoray [572]

Answer:

The length is 22.5 and the width is 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

          2L + 2W = P

                     \/

          2L + 2W = 84

                     \/

W + 3 + W + 3 + W + W= 84

                     \/

          4W + 6 = 84

                     \/

                4W = 78

                     \/

     W = 19.5      L = 19.5 + 3 = 22.5

I hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
