The local print shop advertises a special to print 800 flyers for less than their competition. The price includes a $5.50 set-up fee. If the competition charges $32.50, what does the Print Shop charge for each flyer?

$0.04

Explanation:

Lets make this into algebra, let flyer=f.

800f+$5.50=$32.50

We want f on one side, and to do this we minus $5.50 from both sides.

800f=$27

Then to solve an equation like this, we want to get 1f or f, we do this by dividing the value of the 800 flyers by the value of them ($32.50)

f=$32.50800=0.040625

Rounding this to 2 decimal places, we get $0.04 per flyer
