Question

Austin bought 10 reams of paper at the store for a total of $84.00. the tax on the purchase was $4.00. what was the cost of each ream of paper?

Answer 1

Uh, shouldn't it be 84-4 because the total is 84 dollars, meaning that it already includes tax?
So this would get you to 80/10 which is $8 for each ream of paper.

:/

Answer 2

Spend 84+4=88
$88. /10= $8.80 for each ream of paper
