Hazel has out of town guest coming to visit. She is going to hire a cleaning service to tidy up her house. The maids charge her $80 an hour plus one time service fee of $20. Team clean chargers $60 an hour plus a one time service fee of $100 write and solve an equation to find the number of hours for which the total cost will be the same for the two cleaning services.

the number of hours for which the total cost would be the same is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of hours for which the total cost would be the same be x

The first equation would be

$80x + $20

And the second equation be $60x + $100

Now equate these two equations

$80x + $20 = $60x + $100

$80x - $60x = $100 - $20

$20x = $80

x = $80 ÷ $20

x = 4

Hence, the number of hours for which the total cost would be the same is 4

4and a half candies is the right answer
