You are renting some tables for a party and have to choose between two different rental companies. The first charges $15 per table. The second charges a service charge of $40 plus $11 per table. Based on this information, the second company is cheaper if you rent more than _______ tables.
The correct answer would be more than 10; 15x > 40+11x -11 from each side 4x > 40 Divide by 4 on each side x > 10 Therefore there must be more than 10 tables for the second option to be cheaper.
