Dick is in charge of purchasing office supplies and his budget is $175.00. Paper is $21.99 a box, toner cartridges are 52.90 each and folders are $0.99 each. All the office supplies are 20% off. If Dick needs to buy 3 boxes of paper and 2 toner cartridges . how many folders can he buy?
The answer to the question is available in the PDF file https://assignmentexpert.com/https://assignmentexpert.com/homework-answers/mathematics-answer-41514.pdf
but given that there's 20% off for all office supplies, then the price
for paper will be 17.592 (21.99*80%), the new price for toner will be
42.32 (52.90*80%), & the price of folder 0.792
=175-(3*17.592)+(2*42.32)= 37.584 remaining budget so he can buy 47
folders (37.584/0.792)
