OK, here, we can simply apply the values and solve for which one works.

23.50 3 = 70.50
23.25(3) + 17 = 86.75

Now, they are not equal.

Try another one!

27.50 5 = 137.50
23.255 + 17 = 133.25

Not correct either!!

Try another!

27.50 6 = 165
23.25 6 + 17 = 156.50 

NO! Lets try the second one!!

27.504 = 110
23.25 * 4 + 17 = 110

THIS ONE IS CORRECT!

Answer: 4 hours is when they have the same charges.

The answer is B. 4

$27.50×4= $110. 

$23.25+17+4= $110

Thats the answer. Try the other answer and none will be the same.
