Question

For his book report Barry made color copies and black and white copies The black-and-white copies cost $2.75 In all The color copies cost eight cent each how many color copies did Bobby make if he spent $4.03 in all

Answer 1

Answer:

Bobby made 16 color copies for his book report.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money spent to make copies = $4.03

Cost of black-and-white copies in all = $2.75

Cost of each color copies = 8 cent

now we know that

1 cent = $0.01

8 cent = $0.08

We need to find the number of color copies made.

Solution:

Let the number of color copies made be 'x'.

No we can say that;

Total money spent to make copies is equal to sum of Cost of black-and-white copies in all and Cost of each color copies multiplied by the number of color copies made.

framing in equation form we get;

$2.75+0.3x=4.03$

Subtracting both side by 2.75 we get;

$2.75+0.08x-2.75=4.03-2.75\\\\0.08x = 1.28$

Now dividing both side by 0.08 we get;

$\frac{0.08x}{0.08}=\frac{1.28}{0.08}\\\\x=16$

Hence Bobby made 16 color copies for his book report.
