Answer 4

Nvm I got it :)

Answer 5

we need to build an equation for each plan and then compare them.

i'll do it for the first plan

let me be the number of miles driven. let C = total cost

so, we can say for the first plan that: C = 0 + 0.6m

that is, no initial fee, but $0.6 per mile driven

can you now do that for the second plan?

Answer 6

ah, ok, well done!

Answer 8

A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one-time fixed costs will total
$51,316
, and the variable costs will be
$9.50
per book. With the other method, the one-time fixed costs will total
$15,784
, and the variable costs will be
$21.25
per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same?
