Answer:

10 number of checks.

Cost = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fixed Charges of first bank = $5

Charges of first bank per check = $0.10

Fixed Charges of second bank = $4

Charges of second bank per check = $0.20

To find:

Number of checks such that the charges for the banks become the same?

Solution:

Let the number of checks = [tex]x[/tex]

Cost for the first bank for [tex]x[/tex] checks = $5 + $0.10[tex]x[/tex]

Cost for the second bank for [tex]x[/tex] checks = $4 + $0.20[tex]x[/tex]

As per question statement, both the costs are the same.

Comparing the values:

[tex]5 + 0.10x = 4 + 0.20x\\\Rightarrow 0.10x = 1\\\Rightarrow x = 10[/tex]

So, for 10 number of checks the cost will be same.

The cost = 4 + 0.20 [tex]\times[/tex] 10 = $6
