Question

At the office supply store, a ream of paper costs $5.89 and a cartridge of ink costs $38.40. Delilah needs to buy 8 reams of paper and 6 cartridges of ink for her office. She needs to know how much money to bring, so estimate the cost of these supplies.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Delilah needs to buy 8 reams of paper which cost $5.89 each, $5.89 x 8 = $47.12

Delilah needs to buy 6 cartridges of ink which cost $38.40 each, $38.40 x 6 = $230.4

We then add $230.4 and $47.12

$230.4 + $47.12 = $277.52.

Delilah needs to bring $277.52 to cover the cost of her supplies.
