85c - 0.05(85c) = 161.50
85c - 4.25c = 161.50
80.75c = 161.50
c = 161.50 / 80.75
c = 2

the only answer choice u have listed happens to be the right answer...express proof-reading

Answer:

option (a) Express proof reading

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an 85-page manuscript. To calculate the total cost of printing equation will be  

85c - 0.05( 85c ) = T

where c = cost per page and T = total cost on editing 85 pages.

If total cost of editing is $161.50, then we have to find the best quality of editing Michelle can get.

85(c) - (0.05)(85c) = 161.50

85c - 4.25c = 161.50

80.75c = 161.50

⇒ c = $ 2 per page

As it has been given in the question that express proof reading costs $2.00 per page, so the best quality of editing Michelle can get is option (a) Express proof reading
