Step
1

Find the unit rates in Alpha printing


Unit\ rate= (40)/(400)(\$)/(brochure) =0.10 (\$)/(brochure)

Step
2

Find the unit rates in Omega printing


Unit\ rate= (40)/(1000)(\$)/(brochure) =0.04 (\$)/(brochure)

Step
3

Find the difference of the unit rates


0.10 (\$)/(brochure)-0.04 (\$)/(brochure)=0.06 (\$)/(brochure)

therefore

the answer is


0.06 (\$)/(brochure)
