@morganchavez Jodie uses her college printer to print pages at the rate of $0.06 per page. She decides to rent a printer for $80 a year. The cost of printing using the rented printer is $0.02 per page. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Jodie should print in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented printer is less than the college printer. Define the variable used. (5 points) Part B: How many pages should Jodie print in a year to justify renting the printer? Show your work. (5 points)

sorry for being such a retard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by setting up the inequality: We want: total cost of rented printing < total cost of college printing So: 80 + 0.02x < 0.06x where x = number of pages printed.

wat about part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I don't know how to do part B. @iambatman @iGreen @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen can u answer part b

OpenStudy (igreen):

Ah, it's asking how many pages you have to print a year for the price of renting a printer is cheaper than using the college printer. College Printer: y = 0.06x Rented Printer: y = 80 + 0.02x If you graph these, you get a solution of (2000, 120) So 2000 pages and up will be the price for using the rented printer.
