A moving Company charges $445 plus $22 per hour. A second company charges $490 plus $19 per hour.

At how many hours will the charges from both companies be the same?

After a certain amount of hours, the two companies will have the same amount of total charges. What is the amount of that charge?

it will take 15 hours and the amount of charge would be $775

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours after which, the two companies will have the same amount of total charges.

A moving Company charges $445 plus $22 per hour. It means that the total amount that this company would charge for x hours is

22x + 445

A second company charges $490 plus $19 per hour. It means that the total amount that the second company would charge for x hours is

19x + 490

For the total amount charged by both companies to be the same, the number of hours would be

22x + 445 = 19x + 490

22x - 19x = 490 - 445

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15 hours

The amount of that charge is

19 × 15 + 490

= 285 + 490

= $775
