Question

Fathi has $1.10 in his printing account. Each sheet of paper he uses reduces his printing account balance by $0.25. Fathi wants to print out a PDF document that is 47 pages long. To save paper, he decides to print on both sides of each sheet and to print two pages on each side of the sheet.

After Fathi prints, what will be the balance in his printing account?

Answer 1

Answer: Faith's printing account balance will become $-1.90, or $1.90 below 0.

Explanation:

Each sheet of paper can print 4 pages. Since it is 47 pages long, she will need 12 pages. That will cost 3 dollars, since 0.25x12=3. 1.10-3=-1.90 dollars, which means that she is $1.90 in debt.
