(B) $620
(C) $650
(D) $680
(E) $770

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost for typing for the first time = $5 per page

Cost of revision = $3 per page each time.

Number of pages in the manuscript = 100

Cost of typing 100 pages for the first time = 100 × 5 = $500

Cost of 40 pages revised once = 40 × 3 = $120

Cost of 10 pages revised twice = 10 × (3 × 2) = $60

Total cost of manuscript = 500 + 120 + 60

                                         = $680
