Question

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the total cost for Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we can plug in the values of $ p $ and $ n $ into the equation $ 1.25p + 2.50n $.

Given:

$ p = 10 $ (packs of paper)
$ n = 30 $ (notebooks)

Now substitute these values into the equation:

\[ 1.25p + 2.50n = 1.25(10) + 2.50(30) \]

Calculating each term:

\[ 1.25(10) = 12.50 \]

\[ 2.50(30) = 75.00 \]

Now, add these two results together:

\[ 12.50 + 75.00 = 87.50 \]

So, the total cost for Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks is $87.50.
