Question 1134401: 6. (20 pts) Josh wants to purchase custom-made refrigerator magnets to advertise his business. Two companies offer different deals:
Company A: Pay a design fee of $42.00, plus $4.80 per magnet
or Company B: Pay a design fee of $90.00, plus $4.20 per magnet
a. State a linear function f (x) that represents Company A's total charge for an order of x magnets.
b. State a linear function g(x) that represents Company B's total charge for an order of x magnets.
c. Josh wants to purchase 150 custom-made magnets, as cheaply as possible. With which company should he place his order? Show work/explanation.
d. For what number of magnets is the total charge exactly the same for both companies? Show algebraic work/explanation.
e. Fill in the blanks:
Company A is the cheaper option if ________(choose less or more) than ______ (enter number) magnets are ordered.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! yA=4.8x+42
yB=4.2x+90
A is the line that goes through the y-axis lower, at $42.
for c, one can look at the graph or just put 150 into both equations.
y(150 for A)=720+42=762
y(150 for B)=150(4.2)+90=720, choose B.
for d, set the two equal to each other
4.8x+42=4.2x+90
0.6x=48
x=80 magnets
for e
if less than 80 magnets are ordered (fewer is the correct word).
