I am sorry to ask for help but I have never been very good with algebra and I am still awaiting a battery for my TI84. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No matter how many leaflets you buy, you will pay at least £100. So that's why the constant cost of 100 is in there. Any leaflets you buy, you'll be paying 0.05 (or 5%) of a pound per leaflet. So this is why 0.05N is added.
