Jenna bought 5 reams of paper at the store for a total of $21 . the tax on her purchase was $1 . write a equation and solve to find the price of each ream of paper

The equation needed is

The cost per ream of paper  = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost of 5 reams of paper  = $ 21

The tax on her purchase  = $1

So, the actual cost of 5 reams of paper  = Total Cost paid  - Tax amount

= $ 21 -  $ 1  = $20

So, the actual cost of 5 reams of the paper is $20.

Now, to find out the cost of 1 ream of paper:

=  $4

Hence, the cost of each ream of paper  = $ 4.
