Answer:

  6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

  cost at Lee's: 19.25 +32.80x

  cost at Felicia's: 41.10 +29.05x

These costs are the same when ...

  19.25 +32.80x = 41.10 +29.05x

  3.75x = 21.85

  x ≈ 5.8267 ≈ 6 . . . . days

It will take 6 days for the total cost to be the same at the two companies.
