Paul charges $60 per hour plus $125 for the visit. George charges $70 per hour plus $100 for the visit. How long until the jobs cost the same?

2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x = hours

(We don't know x yet, x is the answer)

2. 60*x+125 = 70*x+100

(60*x means Paul charge $60 per hour for x hours)

3. Solve 70*x - 60*x = 125 - 100

4. 10*x = 25 = > x = 25:10

5. x = 2.5

So Paul's money will equal George's money after 2.5 hours.
