Happy Paws charges $17.00 plus $2.50 per hour to keep a dog during the day.Woof Watchers charges $11.00 plus $3.75 per hour.Write an equation and solve it to find how many hours the total cost of the service is equal.
17 + 2.50h = 11 + 3.75h where h are the hours we're looking for
Subtract 11, 2.50h from both sides
6 = 1.25h divide both sides by 1.25
h = 4.8 hrs
