A long year-end status report for work is 111 pages long. You need to print 16 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 $3.88 each.
Give your answer to the nearest cent, only for the paper you use (partial reams are OK)
Oh, the joys of printing lengthy reports! Let's crunch some numbers to find out the cost.
First, let's calculate how many pages you'll need in total. Since there are 16 copies, multiply the number of pages in one copy by 16: 111 pages x 16 = 1,776 pages.
Now let's determine how many reams you'll need. Divide the total number of pages by the number of pages in a ream: 1,776 pages ÷ 500 pages = 3.552 reams.
Since partial reams are okay, you will need approximately 3.552 reams of paper.
Now, let's calculate the cost. If each ream costs $3.88, multiply that by the number of reams: 3.552 reams x $3.88/ream = $13.76 (rounded to the nearest cent).
So, the paper cost for those reports will be approximately $13.76. Just remember, laughter is free, even though paper isn't!
To calculate the cost of the paper needed for the reports, we need to determine the total number of pages that will be printed.
Given that the year-end status report is 111 pages long and 16 copies need to be printed, we can find the total number of pages as follows:
111 pages/report * 16 copies = 1,776 pages
Since paper is sold in reams of 500 pages and we require a total of 1,776 pages, we need to calculate how many reams are needed. We can do this by dividing the total number of pages by the number of pages in one ream:
1,776 pages / 500 pages/ream = 3.552 reams
Since partial reams are allowed, we can round up to the nearest ream, which gives us 4 reams of paper.
Now, to find the cost of the paper, we multiply the number of reams by the cost per ream:
4 reams * $3.88/ream = $15.52
Therefore, the cost of the paper for the reports will be approximately $15.52.
To calculate the cost of paper for the reports, we need to determine how many pages are required in total.
Given that the year-end status report is 111 pages long and you need to print 16 copies, we can find the total number of pages by multiplying the length of the report by the number of copies:
Total pages = Length of report x Number of copies
Total pages = 111 pages x 16 copies
Total pages = 1776 pages
Now, we can determine how many reams of paper are needed. Since one ream contains 500 pages, we divide the total number of pages by 500:
Number of reams = Total pages / Pages per ream
Number of reams = 1776 pages / 500 pages
Number of reams ≈ 3.55 reams
Since partial reams are acceptable, we can round up to the next whole number, which is 4 reams.
The cost of one ream of paper is $3.88, and we need 4 reams. Hence, the cost of paper for the reports would be:
Cost = Cost per ream x Number of reams
Cost = $3.88 x 4
Cost ≈ $15.52
Therefore, the paper will cost approximately $15.52 for those reports.
111*16 = 1776 pages
Looks like 4 reams will do the job.
So, how much will that cost?
If only paying for the paper used, that would end up as
1776/500 * 3.88
