maggie has two job offers. The first job offers to pay her $50 per week and 10 1/2 cents per flier. The second job offer will pay only $30 per week but gives 20 cents per flier. Write and solve an equation to find how many fliers must she deliver so that the two offers pay the same per week?

Let the number of fliers be f.

First job:
0.105f + 50

Second job:
20f + 30

Set them equal to each other:
0.105f + 50 = 20f + 30

Typing this equation into our search engine, we get:
f = 1
