A printer charges $2.05 for building plus 5 cents per page for each copy of a community group's annual report. What is the cost equation and answer what is the answer if a report costs $5.05 how many pages is it?

Answer 1

Cost equation: Cost = $2.05 + $0.05x, where x is the number of pages

If a report costs $5.05, we can set up the equation:

$5.05 = $2.05 + $0.05x

Subtract $2.05 from both sides:

$3.00 = $0.05x

Divide both sides by $0.05:

x = 60

Therefore, the report is 60 pages long.
