The given problem can be solved using simple mathematical operations.  

1. The cost of each ream is Rs 175.  

2. The cost of each page is,  

=> Total cost of each page =  ( Total cost of ream )/500,  

=> Total cost of each page = 175/500,  

=> Total cost of each page = 35/100 = 7/20.

=> Total cost of each page = Rs 0.35

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the cost of one sheet is Rs.0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the above question,

The given value is cost of 500 sheet is Rs.175

We have to find the cost of one sheet.

The cost one sheet is equal to cost of 500 sheet upon the total number of sheet that is 500.

So, the cost will be as follow,

$=\frac{175}{500}$

Dividing both numerator and denominator with 5 we get,

$=\frac{35}{100}$

Again Dividing both numerator and denominator with 5 we get,

$=\frac{7}{20}$

Further dividing by 20 we get,

$=Rs.0.35$
