Question

A copy center offers its customers two different pricing plans for black and white phototcopies of 8.5 in. pages. Customers can either pay $0.08 per page or pay $7.50 for a discount card that lowers the cost to $0.05 per page. Write and solve an equation to find the number of photocopies for which the cost of the two plans is the same

Answer 1

0.08x=7.50+0.05x
Subtract 0.05x from both sides.
0.03x=7.50
Divide both sides by 0.03.
X =250 pages
