Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of copies where Company A's charges become higher, set up the inequality: $150 + 0.10x > 300 + 0.05x$. Solving for $x$, we get $0.05x > 150$, so $x > 3000$. Thus, above 3000 copies, Company A's charges are higher.

Solve the Inequality $150\$ 150$150 Plus 10 Cents Per Copy $300\$ 300$300

Solve the Inequality $\$ 150$ Plus 10 Cents Per Copy $\$ 300$
