Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of copies above which Company A's charges are higher, we set up an equation to compare the costs of both companies. Let $x$ be the number of copies.For Company A: $120 + 0.08x$For Company B: $240 + 0.04x$We want to find when Company A is more expensive, so we set $120 + 0.08x > 240 + 0.04x$. Solving for $x$, we subtract $0.04x$ from both sides and subtract 120 from both sides to get $0.04x > 120$. Dividing both sides by 0.04, we find $x > 3000$. Therefore, above 3000 copies, Company A's charges are higher.
