Question 526639: Please help me on this question that makes no sense to me! Lisa delivers papers before school. She has a choice of being paid $15 per week plus $0.20 per subscription or $25.00 per week plus $0.10 per subscription. For what number of subscriptions does she make the same amount of money either pay schedule? Answer by rfer(12644) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! make the two choices equal to each other and solve.
15+0.20x=25+0.10x
0.20x-0.10x=25-15
0.10x=10
x=10/0.10
x=100 papers
-------------
15+0.20*100=35
25+0.10*100=35
