A printing company charges a fixed rate to set up the printing press, plus a cost of $3.50 for every 100 copies. If 800 copies cost $64.00, how much will it cost to print 1500 copies?

Answer:

88.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 * 8 = 28, this is how much was spent on copies printed. If 800 copies cost $64 and 28 of that was on the 3.5 fee per 100, then the flat rate must be:

64-28 = 36.

Now, let's do 1500. For 1500 copies, you will get charged $3.5 15 times. This amounts to 52.5, then adding the fixed fee of 36 dollars, you get

88.5
