Jayne recently purchased a high-speed copier for her home office and wants to purchase a service contract on the copier. She is considering two sources for the service contract. Ace Office charges $18 a month plus 2 cents per copy. Copy Haven charges $24 a month plus 1.5 cents per copy.

(a) How many copies would Jayne need to make for the monthly costs of both plans to be the same?

(b) If Jayne plans to make 2000 copies a month, which plan would be the least expensive?
