Margo can purchase tile at a store for $0.79 per tile and rent a tile saw for $24.At another store she can barrow the tile saw for free if she buys tiles there for $1.19 per tile. How many tiles must she buy for the cost to be the same at both stores?

Respuesta :

Let cost be x dollars then

0.79x + 24 = 1.19x

1.19x - 0.79x = 24
0.40x =24
X = 60 tiles Answer
