Susan Clarke · Answer 1

There is no solution, therefore the pep club should go with Logos, as the price is $10 lower than Buttons, Etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Buttons, Etc becomes

y = 50 + 1.1x Where x denotes the number of buttons

The equation for Logos becomes

y = 40 + 1.1x Where x denotes the number of buttons

To find where the pricing is the same, let's set our equations equal to each other.

50 + 1.1x = 40 + 1.1x Combine like terms

50 - 40 = 1.1x - 1.1x

10 = 0

This yields a false response, meaning they will never have the same pricing.
