Taking integral solns. of ##h##, ##h=6.##
Let us denote, by ##h## the no. of hours that Michelle baby-sit.
Then, by Rate A Michelle will get a sum of ##$(10+10h)##, whereas, by Rate B , the amt. will be ##$12h.##
To make Rate B better paying than Rate A, we need,
##12h>10+10h, rArr 12h-10h>10 rArr 2h>10 rArr h>5.##
Taking integral solns. of ##h##, ##h=6.##
