Question

Rates for having a manuscript typed at a certain typing service are $5 per page for the first time a page is typed and $3 per page each time a page is revised. If a certain manuscript has 100 pages, of which 40 were revised only once, 10 were revised twice, and the rest required no revisions, what was the total cost of having the manuscript typed? a) $430 b) $620 c) $650 d) $680 e) $770

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $680

Step By Step Explanation:

100 pages are typed. Each page coast $5 to type.

100 x 5 = 500

40 pages are revised once. It costs $3 to revise a page once.

40 x 3 = 120

10 pages are revised twice. It costs $3 to revise a page once so it will cost $6 to revise it twice

10 x 6 = 60

To find the total cost we add all the amounts together

500 + 120 + 60 = 680

The final answer is $680
