Margo can purchase tile at a store for $0.99 per tile and rent a tile saw for $24. At another store she can borrow the tile saw for free if she buys tiles there for $1.39 per tile. How many tiles must she buy for the cost to be the same at both stores? PLEASE HELP ME HOMEWORK DUE TONIGHT!!!

60 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equations equal,

.99x + 24 = 1.39x

Move all terms containing  x  to the left side of the equation & subtact 24

-.4x = -24

Divide

x = 60

Double check:

.99(60) + 24 = 83.4

1.39(60) = 83.4

i hope this helps :)

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
