Along year-end status report for work is 80 pages long. you need to print 14 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 $3.66 each.

We need to print 14 copies of a 80 pages report. Thus the total number of pages that needs to be printed is:

80*14=80(10+4)=800+320=1,120 pages.

Paper is bought on reams of 500 pages, so we can buy :

1 ream, that is 500 pages, 

2 reams, that is 500*2=1,000 pages

3 reams, that is 500*3=1,500 pages.

It is clear that to need to buy 3 reams, so that we have enough paper.

3 reams * $3.66 per ream = $10.98 

$10.98
