Company A rents copy machines for $300 a month plus $0.05 per copy. Company B charges $600 plus $0.01 per copy. For which number of copies do the two companies charge the same amount?
With c as the number of copies, we have:
Company A Cost = 300 + 0.05c
Company B Cost = 600 + 0.01c
Set them equal to each other
300 + 0.05c = 600 + 0.01c
Use our equation solver to get:
c = 7,500
