Question

If Fun Reads Bookstore has a ready club with a $40 fee and charges $5 per book and Cool Covers Bookstores club charges $100 fee and charges $2 per book how many books would you have to buy to make Cool Covers Bookstore club a better buy?

Answer 1

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.

Explanation:

Given that:

Fee charged by Fun Reads Bookstore = $40

Charges per book = $5

Let x be the number of books.

A(x) = 5x+40

Fee charged by Cool Covers Bookstore = $100

Charges per book = $2

B(x) = 2x+100

For making Cool Cover Bookstores club a better deal,

B(x) > A(x)

2x+100 > 5x+40

2x-5x > 40-100

-3x > -60

Dividing both sides by -3

`(-3x)/(-3)>(-60)/(-3)\\x>20`

Hence,

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.
