P = 0.40*(x-1)+2.30
p is the total price
0.40 the 40 cents
x is the number of papers
-1 minus the 1st page
2.30 the first page price

how?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i plugged 10 in to x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.40(10)= 4-.4+2.30=5.90 :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5.90 = 0.40*(x-1)+2.30
solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
moving on
thank you
