Question

An office assistant has 7 reams of paper in stock. Each ream contains 500 sheets. He needs to have 16 copies of a report printed. Each report is 355 pages long. How many additional reams of paper must he purchase in order to have enough paper to print the reports?nts, what is the chance that any single department is chosen for auditing in a given week?

Answer 1

Answer:

Almost 5 reams of paper will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of reams = 7

Each reams have pages = 500

Total pages he has = 7* 500 = 3500

Number of reports = 16

Pages each report has = 355

Total pages to be printed = 16* 355 = 5,680

Pages to be purchased = 5,680 - 3500

Pages to be purchased = 2,180

For calculating number of reams to be purchased, divide the number of pages with 500 as follows

Number of reams needed = 2,180/500

Number of reams needed = 4.36

As 4 reams will not be enough so he has to buy 5 reams i order to have required printing.

I hope it will help You!
