The number of days for both Companies to have the same total amount is

6.4 days

<h3>Word Problem leading to Algebraic expression</h3>

 

Given Data

  • Let the total payment be y
  • Let the number of days be x

Company A

  • Charges per day = $57
  • Flat fee = $32

y = 57x+ 32 -----------------1

Company B

  • Charges per day = $62
  • Flat fee = $0

y = 62x + 0-----------------2

Equating 1 and 2 we have

57x+ 32 = 62x+ 0

Solving for x we have

62x-57x = 32

5x = 32

Divide both sides by 5

x = 32/5

x = 6.4 days

9. YOU BE THE TEACHER Your friend
Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it's reasonable.

What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?

You get it wrong?!!

But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.

Who  knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.
