Joe 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 office supplies are 20% off. If Joe needs to buy 3 boxes of paper and 2 toner cartridges, how many folders can he buy?
3 boxes of paper and 2 toner cartridges cost "21.99(1-0.2)*3+52.90(1-0.2)*2=\\$137.42."
Money left: "175.00-137.42=\\$37.58."
Joe can buy: "\\frac{37.58}{0.99(1-0.2)}=47" folders.
