Question

Michael, 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. Michael also gives a 5% discount if the entire amount is paid up front.

Answer 1

Maria has a 25-page manuscript. The equation below shows the relationship between the total cost of editing 25 pages, T, and the cost per page, c, if she gets the 5% discount.

25c - 0.05(25c) = T

Using the equation, what is the best quality of editing that Maria can get done for a maximum of $66.50?

Express proofreading

Basic proofreading

Extended proofreading

Deep editing

Answer 20

Michael, 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. Michael also gives a 5% discount if the entire amount is paid up front.

Maria has a 25-page manuscript. The equation below shows the relationship between the total cost of editing 25 pages, T, and the cost per page, c, if she gets the 5% discount.

Using the equation, what is the best quality of editing that Maria can get done for a maximum of $66.50?

25c - 0.05(25c) = T

The best way to solve the problem is to remove all the non essential information. Simplify the problem but first identifying the claims that are made.

There are four options.
Express - $2.20 Per Page, Basic - $2.80 Per Page
Extended - $3.90 Per Page, Deep - $12.00 Per Page
The total pages requested is 25.
The pages get a 5% discount.


Simplify further.

After Discount
Express cost $2.09 Per Page
Basic cost $2.66 Per Page
Extended cost $3.705 Per Page
Deep cost $11.40 Per Page

There is more than one answer depending on how you define "best quality of editing".

Considering the simplicity of the question and the assumed forum it was presented in the most likely answer is the simple one which is multiplying $2.66 by 25 gives you $66.50 which would mean Basic Proofreading.

However another possible answer could be 5 Deep, 2 Basic and 1 Express.

Answer 21

$2.80

Answer 22

The pages are provided at a 5% discount. $2.80 - 5% = $2.66. Not efficient to do the same calculation more than once if not necessary.
