Pristine Printing will print business cards for $0.10 each plus a setup charge of $15. The Printing Place offers business cards for $0.15 each with a setup charge of $10. What number of business cards costs the same from either printer? BONUS: What would the cost be?
Printing 100 cards would cost the same from either business.

WORK
0.10n + 15 = 0.15n + 10
0.10n - 0.10n + 15 = 0.15n - 0.10n +10
