How much pair is needed?

Question

A long year-end status report for work is 83 pages long. You need to print 18 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 $3.54 each.

Answer 1

18 x 83 = 1,494 pages

3 reams would provide 1500 pages, with 6 pages left over

3 x $3.54 = $10.62 for 3 reams
