    The quantity that Sarah's Machinery Company is indifferent between two technologies is 5.

    Explanation:

    We are looking for the quantity that Sarah's Machinery Company is indifferent between two technologies, so we have to find the quantity that the total cost with technology A is the same to the total cost with technology B

    Total cost technology A=500+50x

    Total cost technology B=250+100x

    500+50x=250+100x

    500-250=100x-50x

    250=50x

    x=250/50=5
