Question

(HELP ASAP PLEASE)

Brenna wrote a business plan for an entrepreneurship class, and now she has to make bound copies. Brenna could use a printer who charges a setup fee of $52 and $5 for every copy printed. Another possibility is to go to the office supply store, where she could pay an up-front fee of $24 and $12 per copy. There is a certain number of copies that makes the two options equivalent in terms of cost. How many copies is that? How much would the copies cost?


For ___ copies, the cost is $ ___ .

Answer 1

for four copies the cost is $72

Explanation:

52 + 5a = 24 + 12a

28 + 5a = 12a

28 = 7a

a = 4

52 + 20 = 72

for four copies the cost is $72
