you will save $.03 on each brochure

Answer 2

Step
`1`

Find the unit rates in Alpha printing

`Unit\ Rate=(20)/(400) (\$)/(brochures) =0.05(\$)/(brochures)`

Step
`2`

Find the unit rates in Omega printing

`Unit\ Rate=(20)/(1,000) (\$)/(brochures) =0.02(\$)/(brochures)`

Step
`3`

Find the difference of the unit rates

`0.05(\$)/(brochures)-0.02(\$)/(brochures)=0.03(\$)/(brochures)`

therefore

the answer is

`0.03(\$)/(brochures)`
