Question

A-Plus Advertising charges a fee of $24 plus $0.10 per flyer to print and deliver flyers. Print and More charges $0.25 per flyer. For how many flyers, x, is the cost at A-Plus Advertising less than the cost at Print and More?

A) For x < 160 flyers
B) For x > 160 flyers
C) For x = 160 flyers
D) For x ≤ 160 flyers

Answer 1

The cost at A-Plus Advertising is less than Print and More when the number of flyers, x, is greater than 160. To figure this out, we set up an inequality comparing the costs of the two services and solved for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine for how many flyers x the cost at A-Plus Advertising is less than the cost at Print and More, we need to compare the two costs:

A-Plus Advertising: $24 + $0.10 per flyer

• Print and More: $0.25 per flyer

We can establish an inequality where the cost at A-Plus is less than the cost at Print and More:

$24 + $0.10x < $0.25x

Now, we solve for x:

$0.15x > $24

x > $24 / $0.15

x > 160 flyers

Therefore, the cost at A-Plus Advertising is less for more than 160 flyers, which corresponds to choice B: for x > 160 flyers.
