Question
Chloe wants to make a scrapbook with old family photos. An online scrapbooking company charges 1 per page. Meanwhile, a family friend is willing to make a scrapbook for 4 per page. For a certain number of pages, the prices would be equal. How many pages would that be? How much would Chloe be charged?The prices would be equal for a scrapbook that has pages. Chloe would be charged $.Submit
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation where the cost of the online scrapbooking company equals the cost of the family friend.
The cost for the online company is 1 per page, and the cost for the family friend is 4 per page.
So, we can set up the equation as follows:
45 + 1x = 9 + 4x
To solve for x (the number of pages), we first subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
36 + 1x = 4x
Then, we subtract 1x from both sides:
36 = 3x
Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
x = 12
So, the prices would be equal for a scrapbook that has 12 pages.
To find out how much Chloe would be charged, we can plug x = 12 back into either of the original equations.
Using the online company's pricing:
45 + 1(12) = $57
So, Chloe would be charged $57.
