Question

A long year-end status report for work is 97 pages long. You need to print 16 copies for a meeting next week. How much is the paper going to cost for those reports to the nearest cent? Paper is sold in reams (500 pages) for $3.75 each.

Only for the paper you use (partial reams are OK)

Answer 1

1164 cents or 11.64$

Explanation:

Report total Pages= RP = 97

Need Printed Copies= PC = 16

Total pages need to print = RP * PC= 97 * 16 = 1552 pages

Now cost for 500 pages printed = 3.75$

Convert dollar to cents (1 dollar =100 cents)

3.75$ = 375 cents

cost for one page print = ( 375/500 ) = 0.75 cents

Now total cost for 1552 pages print = 1552 * 0.75 cents =1164 cents or 11.64 $
