Dear Yara Salama Thank you for your comment.
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)
