Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of copies above which Company A's charges are higher, set up an equation where the total cost of Company A equals the total cost of Company B and solve for the number of copies (x). For Company A, the cost is $360 + $0.12x, and for Company B, it's $720 + $0.06x. Setting them equal: $360 + $0.12x = $720 + $0.06x. Solving for x gives x = 6000 copies.
