Question 222807
Copy solutions rents a copier for $240 per month plus 1.8 cents per copy. A law firm needs to lease a copy machine for use during a special case that they anticipate will take 3 months. They allot a budget of $1500 for copying costs. How many copies can they make and stay within budget? 
:
Wouldn't the equation be:
;
3(240) + .018c = 1500
:
720 + .018c = 1500
:
.018c = 1500 - 720
:
.018c = 780
c = {{{780/.018}}}
c = 43,333 copies can be made
;
:
Check by finding the cost of this many copies in 3 months
43,333 * .018 + 3(240) = $1,499.99. 1 cent under budget!
