The Lido Company rents copy machines for a monthly charge of $300 + 10 cents per copy. The Lumsden Company rents copy machines for a monthly charge of $500 + 3 cents per copy. How many copies make the Lido Company more expensive than the Lumsden Company?
---------------------------
Lido cost: L(x) = 300+0.10x
---
Lums cost: M(x) = 500 + 0.03x
----------------------------------
Solve: L(x) > M(x)
---
300+0.10x > 500 + 0.03x
0.07x > 200
x > 2857.14
