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?

what a weird formula 
first off 
$$25c - 0.05(25c)=25c(1-.05)=25c\times .95$$

anonymous · Answer

to decrease by 5% you multiply by $.95$ 
so the equation really reads 
$$23.75c=T$$ 
you want $T=66.5$ set 
$$23.75c=66.5$$ solve for $c$ via 
$c=66.5\div 23.75$

as for the rest, there is some information missing, but i am sure you can get it from there

In other words, 
c = 2.8
