Sandra uses her office fax machine to send fax at the rate of $0.10 per page. She decides to rent a fax machine for $80 a year.

The cost of sending a fax using the rented machine is $0.06 per page. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented machine is less than the office machine. Define the variable used. (5 points) Part B: How many pages should Sandra fax in a year to justify renting the fax machine? Show your work. (5 points)

Part A: 
 First we define the variable to be used for the problem:
 x: the number of pages that Sandra should fax
 The inequality for rent is:
 0.06x <= 80
 Note that the price will be less than using the fax from the office, since for the same number of pages, we have:
 y = 0.10x
 Answer:
 
an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year is:
 
0.06x <= 80

 Part B:
 0.06x <= 80
 From here we clear x:
 x <= 80 / 0.06
 x <= 1333.33333
 Nearest whole number
 x <= 1333
 Sandra can use the leased fax for 1333 pages and the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.06 = 79.98 $
 Using the office fax the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.1 = 133.3 $
  Answer:
 
By renting the sara machine, you save:
 
133.3-79.98 = 53.32 $

Mia is tracking her savings account balance . She knows the equation to find her balance y in any year t, but she can't remember
motikmotik

Complete question is;

Mia is tracking her savings account balance. She knows the equation y = 8000p^(t) can be used to find her balance y in any year t, but she can't remember what p represents. Her balance 3⅔ years after opening her account, is $9,905.54. What is the value of p?

Answer:

p = 1.06

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the equation y = 8000p^(t) can be used to find her balance y in any year t.

Now, we are given t = 3⅔ = 11/3 years

Also, we are given balance after 11/3 years as;

y = $9,905.54

Thus;

Plugging the relevant values into y = 8000p^(t), we have;

9,905.54 = 8000p^(11/3)

p^(11/3) = 9905.54/8000

p = (9905.54/8000)^(3/11)

p = 1.06
