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
