Question

5. Yoko needs 500 copies of her resume printed. Dakota Printing charges $19.50 for the first

200 copies and $9 for every 100 additional copies. How much will 500 copies cost?

Answer 1

$46.50

19.50 + 9(3) = $46.50

Answer 2

Total cost of 500 copies
`\$46.5`

Solution:

Total copies Yoko needs is =500

Dakota printing charges for first 200 copies is
`\$19.50`

So Yoko’s first 200 pages will cost total =
`\$19.50`

Now the copies left for printing is (500-200) = 300 copies

For each extra 100 copies Dakota charges
`\$9`

For extra 1 copy the charge is
`\left((9)/(100)\right)`

So, for printing 300 copies total charge will be
`\left((9)/(100) * 300\right)=27`

Hence, the total cost for printing 500 copies is
`= (19.50+27) = 46.5`
