Question

A long year-end status report for work is 121 pages long. You need to print 14 copies for a meeting next week. How much is the paper going to cost for those reports? Paper is sold in reams (500 pages) for $3.17 each.

Answer 1

Finding y

Explanation:

We start off by multiplying 121 x 14 because 121 is one copy, and we need 14 copies. After figuring this out, we divide this number by 500.

Whatever that number is we multiply that by 3.17. But with a remainder means that we need to add one more reams. So it would be 121 x 14 = x

x/500 = y

y x 3.17 + 3.17

Answer: Y would be you answer.

Hope this isn't too confusing. If so let me know so I can explain better.
