Happy Paws charges $16.00 plus $3.50 per hour to keep a dog during the day. Woof Watchers charges $11.00 plus $4.75 per hour. Complete the equation and solve it to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal. Use the variable h to represent the number of hours.

First, set up equations for total cost for both Happy Paws and Woof Watchers.

x= number of hours

y= total cost

Happy Paws

y=3.50x +16

Woof Watchers

y=4.75x+11

4.75x+11=3.50x+16

x=4

You can check your answer by doing the following:

Happy Paws: (3.50)(4)+16= 30

Woof Watchers: (4.75)(4)+11= 30

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.

the answer is (-4,-4)

hope this ! : d
