The director of a local ballet company needs to print the programs for the next performance. Janet’s Print Shop charges $0.25 per program plus a $35 set-up fee. The Printing Press charges $0.15 per program plus a $50 set-up fee.

Which printing company offers the better deal if 200 programs are printed?

Cost 2: The Printing Press

Thus, for 150 programs the cost is the same.

Answer:

For 150 programs the cost is the same.

Answer:

The Printing Press

Explanation:

200 x 0.15 = 30

30 + 50 = £80

200 x 0.25 = 50

50 + 35 = 85
