Answer:
For [tex]3,604\ books[/tex] the cost for both methods will be the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y ------> the production cost
x ------> the number of books
we know that
First production Method
[tex]y=19.25x+22,427[/tex] -------> equation A
Second production Method
[tex]y=10.50x+53,962[/tex] -------> equation B
Solve the system of equations
Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
[tex]19.25x+22,427=10.50x+53,962[/tex]
[tex]19.25x-10.50x=53,962-22,427[/tex]
[tex]8.75x=31,535[/tex]
[tex]x=3,604\ books[/tex]
