The students at Mario Lemieux Public School are planning a special edition newspaper to commemorate the school's 25th anniversary. They must print 8,700 copies that are each 16 pages. Newsprint is sold in rolls that can print 1,600 pages per roll. Each roll costs $75. The students want to know how much to charge per newspaper to just recover their costs of printing.

Students at Mario Lemieux Public School are planning to publish a special
edition newspaper commemorating the 25th anniversary of their school. They
have decided on the following details:
1. each newspaper will have 16 pages;
2. 8700 copies will need to be printed, using rolls of special newsprint;
3. each roll of newsprint can be cut into about 1600 pages;
4. the special newsprint costs $75.00 per roll.
5. If the students' goal is to just recover their costs,
how much should they charge for each newspaper?
We found two ways to do this problem
1. 8700 copies are needed
2. 1 copy needs 16 sheets of paper
3. 16 times 8700 equals 139200 pages
4. 139200 divide 1600 equals 87
5. therefore you need 87 rolls of
6. 87 times 75 equals 6525
7. You need $6525 to make all that newsprint
8. 6525 divide 8700 equals 0.75
9. You need to charge everyone $0.75 for each newspaper
2.
Each newspaper is 16pages. Each roll is 1600pages
therefore each roll prints 100 newspapers. since each roll cost $75.00
75÷100=0.75.
