Question

A printing company charges $5.00 for the first 400 pages printed. For each page printed over 400, the customer is charged an additional $0.01 per page. Which equation could be used to calculate the total cost, t, to copy p pages when p is greater than 400?

Group of answer choices

t = 0.01p + 400

t = 0.01p + 5

t = 0.01 (400 – p) + 5

t = 0.01 (p – 400) + 5

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Up to 400 pages, the cost is fixed at 5.00 dollars

After 400 pages the cost is 0.01 cents/page

• It's not A. 400 is the number of pages. It is not a cost.
• It's not B either. B means that no matter how many pages you print, it's going to cost 5 dollars + the number of pages times 1 cent.
• C is not the answer. It is really just an answer put it. You pay 1 cent for each page between 400 and what you printed.
• I think D is the answer, but if you get a negative number, then the cost is 5 dollars
