Question

Sharon types for other people. She charges $2.35 per page for double-spaced pages ond $1.85 per page for space-and-a-half pages. How much total pay would she receive for a 35-page double-spaced report and a 12 page space-and-a-half report?

Answer 1

We have two prices, $2.35 per double-spaced page and $1.85 per space-and-a-half page.

So for a report with 35 double-spaced pages adn 12 space-and-a-half pages is:

$2.35\cdot35+1.85\cdot12=82.25+22.2=104.45$

We sum the cost for each type of page, $2.35*35 is the cost for the 35 double-spaced pages, and $1.85*12 is the cost for the 12 space-and-a-half pages.
