Three Rivers publishes a catalog each year, last year it had 198 pages back and front. We print 150 copies. How much does it cost the college if a ream, 500 pages, cost

$7.40 each?

$222

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many ream was used in the printing forts, to determine how much the College spent.

The catalog is 198 pages, back and front, which means, 1 leaf will take 2 pages. Therefore, 99 pages were used in printing 1 copy of the catalog.

No of pages that were used in printing 150 copies = 150*99 = 14,850 pages.

If 500 pages = 1 realm, therefore,

14,850 pages = 14,850/500 = 29.7.

Since, it's a full team that is sold, let's approximate the number of reams bought to be 30 reams.

If 1 ream costs $7.40, therefore,

30 reams = 30*7.40 = $222
