Got Lanyards?
By: Laasya Madana
Part I
1. $35 for the first lanyard, $5 for each additional
2. $65 for the first lanyard, $3 for each additional
3. $95 for the first lanyard, $1 for each addiotional
Which One is Best?
I plugged them into the equation and figured out what the total cost would be.
Here are my results.
Scheme 1:
35+5x=y As you can see, when 10 lanyards are
x=9 ordered, the most affordable
35+5x9=y scheme is the first one.
35+45=y
80=y
Scheme 2:
65+3x=y
x=9
65+3x9=y
65+27=y
92=y
Scheme 3:
95+x=y
x=9
95+9=y
104=y
Results:
As you can see, when 10 lanyards are
ordered, the most affordable
scheme is the first one.
Part II
Scheme 1:
35+5x=y
x=49
35+49x5=y
35+245=y
280=y
Scheme 2:
65+3x=y
x=49
65+3x49=y
65+147=y
212=y
Scheme 3:
95+x=y
x=49
95+49=y
144=y
Part III
Scheme 1:
35+5x <_ 500
5x<_465
x<_93
The amount we could buy from Offer 1 is 93 or more.
Scheme 2:
65+3x<_500
3x<_435
x<_145
The amount we can buy from Offer 2 is 145 or more.
Scheme 3:
95+x<_500
x<_405
The most we could but from Offer 3 is 405 or more.
