Question

A long year-end status report for work is 94 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 $3.98 each.

Answer 1

`11.94`

Explanation:

If you need 14 copies of the report of 94 pages long, then you are going to need:

`94*14=1316`

Then, if each ream is 500 pages:

`(1316)/(500)=2.6`

Hence, you need 3 reams of paper, if each ream is $3.98. The total cost for those reports would be:

`3.98*3=\text{ \$11.94}`
