Rates for having a manuscript typed at a certain typing service are $5 per page for the first time a page is typed and $3 per page each time a page is revised. If a certain manuscript has 100 pages, of which 40 were revised only once, 10 were revised twice, and the rest required no revisions, what was the total cost of having the manuscript typed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$680

Explanation:

Provided cost per page

First time typing = $5 per page

Page Revised = $3 per page for each revision

Now, manuscript has 100 pages out of which

40 were revised once which means

Cost for these 40 pages revised once = $5 + $3 per page, as would be printed originally and then revised once.

= 40 [tex]\times[/tex] $8 = $320

Cost for 10 pages revised twice

= cost per page = $5 + $3 + $3 = $11

$5 for first time typed, $3 for each revision since revision is 2 times

Cost for 10 pages = 10 [tex]\times[/tex] $11 = $110

Cost for remaining 50 pages = 100 - 40 - 10

= $5 per page as were only once typed with no revision

= $5 [tex]\times[/tex] 50 = $250

total cost of 100 pages = $320 + $110 + $250 = $680
