One pet store charges $51 to groom a cat. Another pet store’s grooming costs in dollars, g, are modeled by the equation g=65.5c, where c is the number of cats. How much more would it cost to groom 3 cats at the more expensive store?

Answer :

Answer: It would cost 43.5 dollars more to groom 3 cats at the more expensive store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pet store #1: y= 51(3)= 153

Pet store#2: y=65.5(3)= 196.5

Difference: 196.5 - 153= $43.5

The difference in cost of the two stores is $43.5 and this can be determined by using the unitary method.

Given :

  • One pet store charges $51 to groom a cat.
  • Another pet store’s grooming costs in dollars, g, are modeled by the equation (g = 65.5c), where c is the number of cats.

The unitary method can be used to determine the difference in the cost of two shops.

Given that one pet store charges $51 to groom a cat. So, the cost to groom 3 cats will be:

[tex]=\dfrac{51}{1}\times 3[/tex]

= $153

It is also given that another pet store’s grooming costs in dollars, g, are modeled by the equation (g = 65.5c). So, the cost of grooming 3 cats will be:

[tex]\rm g=65.5\times 3[/tex]

g = $196.5

The difference in cost of two stores will be = 196.5 - 153

                                                                        = $43.5
