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
