Question 65753: you are the office manager of r a small company. You need to acquire a new copier for the office. You find a suitable one that leases for $250 a month from the copy machine company. It costs 2.5 cents per copy to run the machine. You purchases paper for $3.50 a ream (500 sheets). If your copying budget is no more than $950 per month, is this machine a good choice? Write a brief recommendation to the purchasing department. Use equations and inequalitities to explain your recommendation.
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 950=250+X(3.5/500+.025)
SOLVING FOR X WHICH IS THE MAX COPYING FOR THE BUDGET
950=250+X(.007+.025)
950-250=.032X
.032X=700
X=700/.032
X=21,875 SHEETS CAN BE COPIED PER MONTH WITHIN THE BUDGET.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION YOU CAN MAKE IS IF THEY NEED TO COPY LESS THAN 21,875 SHEETS PER MONTH THAN THIS MACHINE WILL KEEP THEM BELOW THE BUDGET.
