As the number of pages in a photo book increases, the price of the book also increases. There is an additional shipping charge of 15%. The price of a book can be modeled by the equation below where, P = the price of the book, 20 is the printing charge, 0.5 is the charge per page, and x = the number of pages.
P = (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x)

Jennifer wants to purchase a book but only has $62.10 to spend. What is the maximum number of pages she can have in her book?

62.10=(20 + .5x) + .15(20+.5x)
62.10=20+.5x + 3+.075x
62.10=23+.575x
39.1=.575x
x=68
