Question

pristine printing will print business cards for $0.10 each plus a setup charge of $15 and printing place offers business cards for $0.15 each with a setup charge of $10 what number of business cards cost the same from either printer

Answer 1

Let's assume

total number of cards =x

Pristine printing business cards:

for $0.10 each plus a setup charge of $15

so, we get equation for cost as

`C=15+0.10x`

Printing Place business cards:

for $0.15 each with a setup charge of $10

so, we get equation for cost as

`C=10+0.15x`

now, we are given

cost from both companies are same

so, we can set costs equal

`15+0.10x=10+0.15x`

now, we can solve for x

`15-10=0.15x-0.10x`

`5 =0.05x`

`x=100`

so,

number of business cards is 100.........Answer
