A company paid $48 for 2 cases of printer paper. Each case contained 12 packages of paper. Next month the company's 0ffice manag
er needs to order 180 packages of the same paper. If the price of the paper does not change, what would be the total cost of next months order? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The answer is $360. This is because 48 divided by the 2 packages is 24, then the 24 divided by the 12 packages is $2 per package. Therefore, 2 times the 180 packages needed to be ordered is $360.
You simply put 40 over a hundred and 55 over n (which is the number were trying to find) so you do cross multiplication. 55 times a hundred and after you get the answer. You divide it by 40 and should get 137.5.
