Problem
Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied.
Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $647, and there is a cost of $0.033 per page copied.
Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $785, and there is a cost of $0.048 per page copied.
Customers are charged $.08 per page copied.
If Benny expects to make 97,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine?
