Data:
Computer scanner and supplies: $215.70
Scan images: $0.34 each
Total cost: C
Number of images: n
Computer center charges $0.59 to scan each image:
Charge of scanner in computer center: S
How many images must John scan before his total cost (C) is less than getting scanned images at the computer center (S)?
Divide both sides of the inequality by 0.25:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{215.70}{0.25}<\frac{0.25}{0.25}n \\ \\ 862.8Then, John must scan more than 863 (as you cannot scan a part of a image approximate to the next whole number) before his total cost (C) is less than getting scanned images at the computer center (S
