Choose the inequality that matches this situation.

Company A charges a fee of $25 plus $0.20 per brouchure to print and deliver them. Company B charges $0.30 per brochure. How many would need to be ordered for Company A to cost more than Company B?

$0.20b + $0.30b > 25b

$0.20b + $0.30b < 25b

$25 + $0.20b > 0.30b

$25 + $0.20b < $0.30b

To determine the inequality that represents the situation where Company A costs more than Company B, we need to compare the total costs of both companies.

Let \( b \) represent the number of brochures.

  • The cost for Company A is given by: \[ \text{Cost of Company A} = 25 + 0.20b \]

  • The cost for Company B is given by: \[ \text{Cost of Company B} = 0.30b \]

We want to find the condition where Company A's cost is greater than Company B's cost: \[ 25 + 0.20b > 0.30b \]

This simplifies to the inequality we are looking for.

So the correct answer is: $25 + 0.20b > 0.30b$
