    Answer: p = T/150 - 3.88s

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to solve the equation for p.

    T = 581s+150p

    T - 581s = 150p

    (T - 581s) / 150 = p

    T/150 - 3.88s = p

    p = T/150 - 3.88s

    For example if the total cost is $600 and the number of computers is 1:

    p = 600/150-3.88 (1)

    p=4-3.88

    p = 0.12 per printer

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
