Each student in the sixth grade will be required to write 4 papers that are each a total of 27 pages long. If there are 25 stud
ents in the sixth grade, approximately how many sheets of paper will the sixth grade need to complete these assignments? Hint: Be sure to estimate enough so that sixth grade will have enough paper to finish the required assignments.
First start with how many papers the students need to complete and how many pages each paper will take. To do this multiply the papers by the pages.
4 papers x 27 pages = 108 pages
Now we know how many pages it will take for one student to complete all 4 papers. We can use this to find out how many pages they need. If it takes 108 pages for one student to complete 4 papers and there are 25 students we can conclude that...
getting 50% of the regular price is better than 35% off because 50% takes half of the price off & 35% takes less than 50% off of 2, so the sale value of the 35% off would be more.
