You can put this solution on YOUR website! Brand x copier advertises that it's copiers run 23% longer between service calls then it's competitor. If Brand x copiers run 62,300 copies between service calls, how many copies would the competitor run?
-----
Let the competitor copier run "x" copies between service calls.
---
Equation:
x + 0.23x = 62,300
1.23x = 62,300
x = 62,300/1.23
x = 50,651 when rounded up
