Answer:
a. Oscar charges more to tutor for 5.5 hours than Latoya.
b. Oscar charges more by a difference of $1.00 for tutoring 5.5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges by Oscar:
1st hour of tutoring = $25
Additional hour or fraction = $15
For tutoring for 5.5 hours, Oscar charges:
1st hour of tutoring = $25
4.5 hours of additional tutoring = $75 ($15 * 5)
Total charges = $100
Charges by Latoya:
= 30x, 0.6, where x = hours of tutoring
Total charges = 30 * 5.5 * 0.6 = $99
Therefore, Oscar charges more for tutoring 5.5 hours than Latoya by $1 ($100 - $99).
