Question

The 4015n printer that is used in most of the labs has a toner cartridge that cost 40.00 and each cartridge should print 10,000 pages, a ream of 500 pages for the printer costs 6.00. Just including those costs how much does it cost to print a single page

Answer 1

1 sheet costs 1.6 cents

Explanation:

The total cost of the toner is 40 dollars which is good for 10000 pages.

The cost of 500 sheets of paper is 6.00 dollars or 600 cents

500 sheets / 600 cents = 1 sheet /x Cross Multiply

500 sheets x = 600 cents Divide by 500

x = 600/500

x = 1.2 cents.

10000 sheets cost 40 dollars. = 4000 cents

1 sheet costs x

10000/1 = 4000/x Cross multiply

10000*x = 1 * 4000 Divide by 10000

x = 4000/10000

x = 0.4 cents.

Total Cost for 1 sheet = 0.4 cents + 1.2 cents

Total Cost for 1 sheet = 1.6 cents.
