Question

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) @ganeshie8

Answer 1

Can anybody help me please?

Answer 2

Ya, wait a second though.

Answer 3

okay :)

Answer 4

Part A: 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.

@limbaniaalona You are not participating in this work project. Look back at all the posts. You have posted NONE of your worn work. That's just not good enough. Did you set up the inequalities? Did you define your variables? Most of the solution is in the problem statement. Please show YOUR work.

Answer 13

That's why I'm here to ask you a question if you can help me with my work. Please

Answer 14

Sorry for not answering back... I got busy... I do not really understand part B sorry I couldn't help you

Answer 15

So, is it 2000 pages of price for using the rented printer?

Insufficient response. Show YOUR work. You MUST have SOMETHING. I don't believe you have nothing.
