Answer: (1) You would need to print 500 pages

(2) To print 500 pages from home would cost $125

Step-by-step explanation: The cost of printing at home has been given as a fixed cost of 100 plus an additional variable cost of 0.05 per page for ink, that is, Cost = 100 + 0.05p. Also, to print at the office, the cost has been given as 0.25 per page, that is, Cost = 0.25p.

Therefore for the costs to be the same, we need to equate both cost functions (that is, C = C) as follows;

100 + 0.05p = 0.25p

Collect like terms and we now have,

100 = 0.25p - 0.05p

100 = 0.20p

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.2

500 = p

To print 500 pages at home therefore would cost,

C = 100 + 0.05p

C = 100 + 0.05(500)

C = 100 + 25

C = 125

Therefore to print 500 pages from home would cost $125

Answer:

1.) 500 pages

2.) $125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the printer cost $100. To operate at home will cost

100 + 0.05P

To print out pages at an office store, it will cost 0.25P

1.) For the costs to be the same, then

100 + 0.05P = 0.25P

0.25P - 0.05P = 100

0.20P = 100

P = 100/0.2

P = 500 pages

500 pages need to be printed

2.) How much does it cost to print that many pages?

Cost = 0.25P

= 0.25 × 500

= 125 dollars
