The cost of faxing pages is $2.25 for the first page and $0.60 for each additional page. To find the maximum number of pages that can be faxed for $5.25, set up the inequality: $2.25 + $0.60(x-1) ≤ $5.25, where x is the number of pages. Solving for x gives x ≤ 6, meaning 6 pages or fewer can be faxed for $5.25.
