Question

The set-up cost for a machine that attaches snaps on clothing is $1,100. After set-up,

Answer 1

Answer:

14,001

Step-by-step explanation:

old machine: 1,100+.12x

new machine: 1,520+.09x

if you plug in 14,000 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780

new machine: 2,780

therefore, you need 1 over 14,000 for it to be worth it because

if you plug in 14,001 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780.12

new machine: 2,780.09

which makes the new machine $.03 cheaper at this point (and the more snaps attached, the more the new machine will be worth it)

hope this helps!
