You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +n+ = number of portrait sheets
Let +C+ = cost of a session
------------------------------------
Cameron photography:
+C+=+24n+%2B+81+
Lasting memory company:
+C+=+25n+%2B+57+
---------------------------------
+25n+%2B+57+=+24n+%2B+81+
+n+=+24+
and
+C+=+24%2A24+%2B+81+
+C+=+576+%2B+81+
+C+=+657+
------------------------
Costs are the same for 24 sheets
and the cost is 657
