It goes like this
12.50X + 30 = 15X
That is your equation to solving that problem
If you use the equation, you'll get 12 meals until it will cost the same.
Answer:
After 12 meals
Step-by-step explanation:
A holiday meal costs a person $12.50 plus delivery fee of $30.
The same meal costs a person $15.00 with no delivery fee at good eats.
Let the number of meals be x
we cater charges = 12.50x + 30
Good eats charges = $15.00x
we cater become the better deal :
12.50x + 30 < 15.00x
30 < 15.00x - 12.50x
30 < 2.50x
x < [tex]\frac{30}{2.50}[/tex]
x < 12
After 12 meals we cater become the better deal.
