Question

you need to rent a video camera and hire an operator to make a documentary. one company charges $200 per hour for a camera operator and the camera. another company charges $350 per day for a camera operator and $450 per day for a camera. each company considers 1 day as 8 hours and charges full - price for a partial - day rental. how much will it cost to rent from the less expensive company for 4 hours?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine less - expensive operator

Company A charges $300$ per 8 - hour day for operator.

Step2: Calculate hourly rate

Hourly rate = $\frac{300}{8}=37.5$

Step3: Calculate 4 - hour cost

Cost for 4 hours = $37.5\times4 = 150$

Answer:

There seems to be some text - formatting and clarity issues in the problem statement. However, assuming the following interpretation:
Let's say Company A charges $300 per day for a camera operator and Company B charges $350 per day for a camera operator and $450 per day for a camera. Assuming 1 day is 8 hours.
First, find the hourly rate of the less - expensive camera operator. The less - expensive camera operator is from Company A which charges $300 per 8 - hour day.
The hourly rate of the operator from Company A is $\frac{300}{8}=37.5$ dollars per hour.
For 4 hours, the cost is $37.5\times4 = 150$ dollars.
If we assume the problem is about renting a camera operator for 4 hours from the less - expensive company, the answer is C. $150$
