Question

A printing company makes pamphlets that cost $.75 per copy plus $5.00 as a setter's fee. If $80 were spent printing a pamphlet, how many pamphlets were ordered?

 

Could this be set as a proportion?

Answer 1

Cost = fee + pamphlets

 

p = number of pamphlets

0.75p = cost of pamphlets

 

80 = 5 + 0,75p

75 = 0.75p

100 = p

 

100 pamphlets were purchased,
