OpenStudy (kmullis6):

Ok.

OpenStudy (perl):

x is the number of pages

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

So that's for part A?

OpenStudy (perl):

I am using the basic rate equation `cost per page * number of pages = total cost`

OpenStudy (perl):

cost per page of office scanner * no. pages > flat rate to rent scanner + cost per page of rented scanner

OpenStudy (perl):

\[ \Large .09x >70 +.02x \]

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

Ok. Sorry, I'm confused. So what you had before was a mistake, and what is above is for A now?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes I am revising as I think about the problem

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (perl):

THe english inequality should explain how I got the math part. Want to go over it one more time. just to be sure

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

Yes, please.

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

I think I get it. Thank you

OpenStudy (perl):

We want \[ \Large \rm rented ~ scanner ~ cost < office ~scanner ~ cost \]\[\Large \rm rental ~cost + \frac{cost}{page }\cdot \# pages < \frac{cost}{ page} \cdot \# pages \]\[ \Large \rm 70 +\frac{$0.02}{1 page } \cdot x ~pages <\frac{$0.09}{1 page} \cdot x~pages \\~ \] Finally we have $$ \Large 70 + .02x < .09 x $$

OpenStudy (perl):

for part B you can solve the inequality for x

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

1,000

OpenStudy (perl):

correct :)

OpenStudy (perl):

Edit If she scans more than a 1000 pages in a year, she will save money using the rented scanner. if she scans less than a 1000 pages a year she will save money not renting and using the office equipment.
