Let y = total charge for a car rental and x = miles driven
Proxy car equation: y = 0.32x + 18
YourPal equation: y = 0.36x + 12
Set equations right sides equal to each other... meaning their cost, y, are equal
0.32x + 18 = 0.36x + 12
18 = 0.04x + 12 (subtract 0.32x from both sides of the equation)
6 = 0.04x (subtract 12 from both sides of the equation)
150 = x (divide both sides of the equation by 0.04)
ANSWER: 150 miles
Part A:
First we define the variable to be used for the problem:
x: the number of pages that Sandra should fax
The inequality for rent is:
0.06x <= 80
Note that the price will be less than using the fax from the office, since for the same number of pages, we have:
y = 0.10x
Answer:
an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year is:
0.06x <= 80
Part B:
0.06x <= 80
From here we clear x:
x <= 80 / 0.06
x <= 1333.33333
Nearest whole number
x <= 1333
Sandra can use the leased fax for 1333 pages and the cost will be:
1333 * 0.06 = 79.98 $
Using the office fax the cost will be:
1333 * 0.1 = 133.3 $
Answer:
By renting the sara machine, you save:
133.3-79.98 = 53.32 $
