Answer:

16 key chains

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 0.85x + 3.99 ---company A

g(x) = 1.10x --- company B

Required

Value of x when f(x) = g(x)

We have:

f(x) = g(x)

0.85x + 3.99 = 1.10x

Collect like terms

0.85x - 1.10x = -3.99

-0.25x = -3.99

Solve for x

x = \frac{-3.99}{-0.25}

x = 15.96

x= 16 --- approximated
