    Flourish - 120x

    Green Thumb - (70x) = 1600

    Flourish - 120*35 = $4200

    Green Thumb - (70*35) + 1600 = $4050

    It would be less expensive to hire Green Thumb Landscapers. There is a $150 difference between the two

    It would take 32 hours of work for the cost to be the same for both companies
