Question

Sean, a freelance editor, charges the rates shown in the table below to edit manuscripts. The cost per page increases as the quality of editing improves. Sean also gives a 5% discount if the entire amount is paid up front.



Michelle has an 85-page manuscript. The equation below shows the relationship between the total cost of editing 85 pages, T, and the cost per page, c, if she gets the 5% discount.

85c - 0.05(85c) = T
Using the equation, what is the best quality of editing that Michelle can get done for a maximum of $161.50?
Extended proofreading
Deep editing
Express proofreading
Basic pr

Answer 1

basic proofreading

Answer 2

xc - 0.05(xc) = 161.50

xc - 0.05xc = 161.50

-0.95xc = 161.50

170 = xc

170 - 0.05(170) = 161.50

170 pages
