Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of owning and operating a printer :

Purchase Cost = $100

Printing per per page = $0.05

Thus, owning and operating cost :

Purchase cost + (Printing per page * number of pages)

Number of pages = p

100 + 0.05p

Service cost :

Amount per page = 0.25

Total revenue = cost per page * number of pages

Total revenue from service =. 0.25p

The equation :

100 + 0.05p = 0.25p ; is the owning and operating cost = total revenue

It gives the equation to calculate the number of pages at which total revenue equals owning and operating cost.

100 + 0.05p = 0.25p

100 =0.25p - 0.05p

100 = 0.20p

p = 100/0.2

p = 500

When number of pages equals 500; the owning and operating cost is equal to the revenue made.
