Answer: $3,672


Step-by-step explanation:

$48 = 2 cases of printer paper
$24 = 1 case of printer paper

Each case contained 12 packages of paper
2 cases of printer paper = 24 packages of paper
1 case of printer paper = 12 packages of paper

You need to find out how much 153 cases of printer paper would cost.

Each case costs $24.00

Multiply 24 x 153.
= $3,672

Therefore, the total cost of next month’s order would be $3,672.
