Bay wants to hire painters to paint her house. she wants the color to be purple. she's got 2 options: rainbow painters or starfall painters. rainbow painters charges $25.00 per hour and $6 extra per square foot. starfall charges $36.00 and $4 extra per square foot. bay wants to hire either one for 9 hours. which would should she hire? how much total for both painters after 9 hours?

She were hired the rainbow painters because if you add 25.00+6 that will equal 25.06. Then you are multiply 25.06 by 9 which will equal $225.54. After that you add 36.00+4 which will equal 36.04. Next you’ll also multiply 36.04 by 9 which is $324.36. You would then compare the two numbers and 225.54 Is less than 324.36.
To get the second part of the question all you have to do is just add 324.36 and 225.54 which will equal 549.90.
Hope this helps
