The director of a local ballet company needs to print the programs for the next performance. Janet’s Print Shop charges $0.25 per program plus a $35 set-up fee. The Printing Press charges $0.15 per program plus a $50 set-up fee. Which printing company offers the better deal if 200 programs are printed?

The Printing Press

Step-by-step explanation:

200 x 0.15 = 30

30 + 50 = £80

200 x 0.25 = 50

50 + 35 = 85

or this case we find the expression that represents the cost of each printing press.

x: Be the variable that represents the number of programs to print

So:

Cost 1: Janet’s Print Shop

Cost 2: The Printing Press

If we want to find the number of programs for which the costs are the same, then we equate both equations:

Thus, for 150 programs the cost is the same.

For 150 programs the cost is the same.
