Question 188387: You are choosing between 2 plans at a discount warehouse. Plan A offers an annual membership fee of $300 and you pay 70% of the manufacturer's recommended list price. Plan B offers an anual membership fee of $40 and you pay 90% of the manufacturer's recommended list price. How many dollars of merchandise would have to purchase in a year to pay the same amount under both plans? What will be the cost for each plan?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are choosing between 2 plans at a discount warehouse.
Plan A offers an annual membership fee of $300 and you pay 70% of the manufacturer's recommended list price.
A(p) = 300 + 0.70p
--------------------------
Plan B offers an annual membership fee of $40 and you pay 90% of the manufacturer's recommended list price.
B(p) = 40 + 0.90p
----------------------------
How many dollars of merchandise would have to purchase in a year to pay the same amount under both plans? What will be the cost for each plan?
-----
Equation:
300 + 0.7p = 40 + 0.9p
260 = 0.2p
p = $1300
