Question

To make copies of blueprints, Vantage Reprographics charges a $5 setup fee plus $4 per copy. Myra can spend no more than $61 for copying her blueprints. What

numbers of copies will allow her to stay within budget?

Answer 1

14 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra cannot spend more than $61 in total. Since we know that amount is the max, we can calculate how many copies can be made within that price range. Subtract $5 from the $61 max amount to account for the $5 setup fee, which equals $56. Then divide $56 by $4 (the price of a single copy) to get the answer of 14 copies.

The price of 14 copies plus the $5 fee equals exactly $61, meaning it fits Myra's budget perfectly. If more than 14 copies were made, Myra would no longer be within her budget.
