the forms used in your coding area cost 100.00 per 1000 forms for the first 2000 and $50 for every 1000 thereafter. if you need to order 5000 forms what is the total cost?

To calculate the total cost of ordering 5000 forms, we need to determine how many forms fall into each pricing tier.

For the first 2000 forms, the price is $100.00 per 1000 forms. So, for 2000 forms, the cost would be:

2000 forms / 1000 forms = 2 units
2 units * $100.00 per unit = $200.00

Next, we need to find the cost for the remaining 3000 forms (5000 - 2000). For every subsequent 1000 forms, the price is $50.00. Since we have 3000 forms left, we need to calculate how many additional 1000-form units we have:

3000 forms / 1000 forms = 3 units

Now, we can multiply the number of units by the price per unit:

3 units * $50.00 per unit = $150.00

Finally, we can calculate the total cost by adding the cost of the first 2000 forms and the cost of the remaining 3000 forms:

$200.00 + $150.00 = $350.00

Therefore, the total cost of ordering 5000 forms would be $350.00.
