Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let's assume the number of copies to be x. 
For company A, monthly charge = $300 + 0.10x 
For company B, monthly charge = $600 + 0.05x 
We need to find the value of x for which company A's charges are higher than company B's charges. 
300 + 0.10x > 600 + 0.05x 
0.05x > 300 
x > 6000 
Therefore, the number of copies above which Company A's charges are the higher of the two is 6000.
