So, if the first copy costs $.18, what is the total amount you can use for the rest of the copies?

calculusxy · Answer

I think that first I have to subtract $3.00-$0.18=$2.82. Then I divide $2.82 by $0.12 = $23.5.

WE're not looking for a currency, we're looking for how many copies you can get for a maximum of $3.00 spent

anonymous · Answer

correct!  Except the second part doesn't leave you with money, it leaves you with the number of copies.

$2.82/$.12= 23.5 copies.

calculusxy · Answer

Sorry I meant it to not be with dollars. I meant 23.5 copies ~ 23 copies. U add one copy and get 24 copy.
