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?
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.
