Problem of the Week #9

Posted: April 14, 2013

Students at Queen Elizabeth Public School are planning to publish a special edition newspaper commemorating the 50th anniversary of their school. They have decided on the following details: - each newspaper will have 16 page - 8700 copies will need to be printed, using rolls of special newsprint; - each roll of newsprint can be cut into about 1600 pages; - the special newsprint costs $75.00 per roll. If the students' goal is to just recover their costs, how much should they charge for each newspaper?   All solutions must be submitted by noon on Thursday, April 18. Although you may use a calculator for your calculations, please show the steps you took to get your answer. Answer only will not be eligible for the draw.
