Question

Is this right?

Answer 1

Sandra uses her office fax machine to send fax at the rate of $0.10 per page. She decides to rent a fax machine for $80 a year. The cost of sending a fax using the rented machine is $0.06 per page.

Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented machine is less than the office machine. Define the variable used. (5 points)

Part B: How many pages should Sandra fax in a year to justify renting the fax machine? Show your work. (5 points)

Answer 2

Part A:
.06x * 12 > 80
x is the amount of pages sent

Part B:
She should fax 111 pages because:
.06 * 12 = .72
80/.72 = 111.11

Answer 3

rent < office

rent = .06p + 80
office = .10p

Answer 7

the rental costs us: 80, plus .06 for each page: 80 + .06p

the office just costs us .10 for each page: .10p

rental cost is less than office cost gives us a rule to use; solving for p justifies the rental
