Sean, a freelance editor, charges the rates shown in the table below to edit manuscripts. the cost per page increases as the quality of editing improves. sean also gives a 5% discount if the entire amount is paid up front. a 2 column table with type of editing and cost per page as the column headings. express proofreading costs 2 dollars, basic pro michelle has an 85-page manuscript. the equation below shows the relationship between the total cost of editing 85 pages, t, and the cost per page, c, if she gets the 5% discount: 85c − 0.05(85c) = t using the equation, what is the best quality of editing that michelle can get done for a maximum of $161.50? a. express proofreading b. basic proofreading c. extended proofreading d. deep editing

option (a) Express proof reading

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an 85-page manuscript. To calculate the total cost of printing equation will be  

85c - 0.05( 85c ) = T

where c = cost per page and T = total cost on editing 85 pages.

If total cost of editing is $161.50, then we have to find the best quality of editing Michelle can get.

85(c) - (0.05)(85c) = 161.50

85c - 4.25c = 161.50

80.75c = 161.50

⇒ c = $ 2 per page

As it has been given in the question that express proof reading costs $2.00 per page, so the best quality of editing Michelle can get is option (a) Express proof reading

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.

i just took the test, the correct answer is .. 31.5 in.
