You are the head of marketing for a company that is expanding overseas. you have a 210-page employee manual that must be translated into chinese for the new offices. the company we translate for you charges $2.75 per page for translation. their competitor, translationary, charges $2.35 per page and a $6.25 administrative fee per project. what is the least amount of money you will have to spend to translate the manual?

Translationary is a better option as the cost for translate, is lower. $499.75

Explanation:

the manual has 210 pages

We will compare each option:

"We Translate for You"

2.75 per page:

210 pages x 2.75 = 577.5

"Translationary"

2.35 per page plus a 6.25 fee

210 x 2.35 + 6.25 = 499,75‬

If we want to know at which point "We Translate for You" is better we can do the following

We check at which quantity of pages both offer the same price:

2.75 x = 2.35 x + 6.25

and now solve for X

(2.75 - 2.35 ) X = 6.25

0.40 X = 6.25

X = 6.25/0.40 = 15,625

from 1 to 15 pages, "We translate for you" is a better option

after that, Translationary is a better option as the cost is lower.
