Comparing cost for two companies who distribute juice.
The first is Healthy drinks, charges $25 delivery fee,
and .51 cents per bottle.
H(x) = 25+0.51x where x is the number of bottles
----------------------------------
The other company The Squeeze charges .40 cents per bottle
and $65 delivery fee.
S(x) = 65+0.40x where x is the number of bottles
----------------------------------------------------------
For how many bottles of juice of Healthy drinks, inc more expensive to order from?
H(x)>S(x) ?????
25+0.51x > 65+0.40x
0.11x > 40
x > 364 bottles when rounded up to the nearest whole number.
===============================
For home many bottles of juice is the Squeeze more expensive to order from
S(x)> H(x) ???
65+0.40x > 25+0.51x
11x< 40
x < 364 bottles when rounded up
========================================
