Algebra.Com's Answer #483599 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let m = no. of mugs \n" ); document.write( "write a cost equation for each company \n" ); document.write( "The cup company charges $4 per mug plus an additional fee of $30. \n" ); document.write( "C = 4m + 30 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( " Mug Rus only charges $4.50 per mug. \n" ); document.write( "C = 4.50m \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Write and solve an equation to find how many mugs Manuela can have made for the 2 companies prices to be the same. \n" ); document.write( "they want the two costs to be same therefore: \n" ); document.write( "4.50m = 4m + 30 \n" ); document.write( "4.50m - 4m = 30 \n" ); document.write( ".50m = 30 \n" ); document.write( "m = 30/.5 \n" ); document.write( "m = 60 mugs, the cost will be the same \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Confirm this; find the actual cost for each \n" ); document.write( "C = 4(60) + 30 \n" ); document.write( "C = 240 + 30 \n" ); document.write( "C = $270 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "C = 4.50(60) \n" ); document.write( "C = $270\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
