Question

azul bought 10 reams of paper at the store for a total of $84. The tax on the purchase was 4. What was the cost of each ream of paper

Answer 1

Answer:

$\textbf{Hence, Cost of each ream of paper = }\ 8.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of reams of paper bought by Azul = 10

Cost of buying 10 reams of paper from the store = $84

Amount of tax which is to be paid for the purchase = $4

Hence, total amount of money which is to be paid by Azul for buying 10 reams of paper = 84 + 4

               = $88

Now, cost of buying 10 reams of paper = $88

$\text{So, Cost of each ream of paper = }\frac{88}{10}\\\\\textbf{Hence, Cost of each ream of paper = }\ 8.8$
