Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of copies above which Company A's charges are higher, we set up an equation where the total cost of Company A equals the total cost of Company B and solve for the number of copies (x). For Company A, the cost is $160 + $0.08x. For Company B, the cost is $320 + $0.04x. Setting these equal to each other:$160 + $0.08x = $320 + $0.04xSolving for x gives:$0.04x = $160x = 4000 copies.
