Brand x copier advertises that it's copiers run 23% longer between service calls then it's competitor. If Brand x copiers run 62,300 copies between service calls, how many copies would the competitor run?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Let the competitor copier run \"x\" copies between service calls.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 0.23x = 62,300
\n" ); document.write( "1.23x = 62,300
\n" ); document.write( "x = 62,300/1.23
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50,651 when rounded up
