To babysit one child, Fernando charges $10 to drive to the appointment plus $4 per hour. He saves 30% of the total amount he earns. Brenna charges $6 per hour and saves 25% of the total amount she earns. Which equation can be used to determine the number of hours, h, after which Fernando and Brenna will have saved the same amount of money?
a 10 + 0.3(4h) = 0.25(6h)
b 0.3(10) + 4h = 0.25(6h)
c 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h)
d 0.3(14h) = 0.25(6h)

Th equation that can be used to determine when they would have saved the same amount is 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h).

The equation that can be used to determine the amount saved by Fernando is:

total amount saved = percentage saved x (amount charged to drive to the appointment + total amount earned)

0.3( $10 + $4h)

The equation that can be used to determine the amount saved by Brenna is:

percentage saved x total amount earned

0.25h

When they save the amount amount, the two above equations would be equal: 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h).
