For example, if he preparates 10 plates, each impression of his press makes 10 invitations. Preparing each plate costs $8 and he can make 1000 impressions per plate per hour. If it costs $ 128 per hour to run the press, how many metal printing plates should the printer use to minimize the cost of printing the 100,000 invitations?
