Problema Solution

A buisness center charges a flat fee to send faxes plus a fee per page. You send one fax wih 4 pages for $5.36 and another fax with 7 pages for $7.88. Find the flat fee and the cost per page

Answer provided by our tutors

x + 4y = 5.36

x + 7y = 7.88

-x - 4y = -5.36

3y = 2.52

y = 0.84

x + 4(0.84) = 5.36

x + 3.36 = 5.36

x = 2

Therefore, the flat fee is $2.00 and the cost per page is $0.84
