Answer 1

What do you need help in?

Answer 2

Jay, a freelance editor, charges the rates shown in the table below to edit manuscripts. The cost per page increases as the quality of editing improves. Jay also gives a 5% discount if the entire amount is paid up front.

Answer 3

Ellen has a 40-page manuscript. The equation below shows the relationship between the total cost of editing 40 pages, T, and the cost per page, c, if she gets the 5% discount:

40c - 0.05(40c) = T

Using the equation, what is the best quality of editing that Ellen can get done for a maximum of $190?

Express proofreading
Basic proofreading
Extended proofreading
Deep editing

Answer 4

HI!!

\[40c+.05\times 40c=T\] right ?

Answer 5

oh no
\[40c-.05\times 40c=T\]

Answer 6

yea. so....

Answer 7

ok first off \(.05\times 40=2\) right?

Answer 8

yes.

Answer 9

so
\[40c=.05\times 40c=40c-2c=38c\]

Answer 10

and the formula is
\[T=38c\]

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

and the formula is
\[T=38c\]

Answer 13

put in the various costs, see which one you can afford at $190

Answer 14

i would start with "extended proofreading" at \(c=5\) and try
\[T=38\times 5\]

Answer 15

probably get it on the first try

Answer 17

ok
