Help!!!!! Emily uses her college photocopier machine to photocopy at the rate of $0.08 per page. She decides to rent a photocopier machine for $90 a year. The cost of photocopying using the rented machine is $0.03 per page. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Emily should photocopy in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented machine is less than the college machine. Define the variable used. (5 points) Part B: How many pages should Emily print in a year to justify renting the photocopier? Show your work. (5 points)

I'm thinking Part A is 0.08p>90+0.03p. Is this right?

Yay!

OpenStudy (faby0411):

Can you help me with Part B?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

u created the equation just find p

OpenStudy (faby0411):

Do I subtract .03p from both sides?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes of cos

OpenStudy (faby0411):

so that would be 0.05p > 90?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\checkmark}\)

OpenStudy (faby0411):

that would make it p > 1800. right?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\Huge\tt \color{black}{\checkmark}\)

Thanks so much!
