Respuesta :

Answer:

They will get the same fee i.e.$42.5  in 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours for the same total fee

Cal's Carriage Rides charges $20 plus $4.50 per hour

So,Cal's Carriage Rides charges in x hours = 20+4.5x

Hal's Horse and Buggy charges $30 plus $2.50 an hour

So,Hal's Horse and Buggy charges in x hours = 30+2.5x

ATQ

[tex]20+4.5x=30+2.5x[/tex]

[tex]4.5x-2.5x=30-20[/tex]

[tex]2x=10[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

So, they will get the same fee in 5 hours

Total fee in 5 hours = 20+4.5x=20+4.5(5)=$42.5

Hence they will get the same fee i.e.$42.5  in 5 hours
