Jamie has just finished writing a research paper. She has hires a typist who will type the paper on the computer for her. The typist charges $3.50 per page if no charts of graphs are used and $8.00 per page if chart and graph appears on the page. Jamie knows there will be at most 40 pages having no charts or graphs. There will be no more than 16 pages with charts or graphs, and the paper will be 50 pages or less. What is the greatest possible cost to have the paper typed? How many pages with graphs and how many without graphs would cause this greatest cost?

Answer 1

The maximum size is 40 pages at $3.50 and 16 pages at $8

c=40*3.50+16*8
c=140+128
c=$268
