Answer 1

To find how much it will cost Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we substitute p = 10 and n = 30 into the expression 1.25p + 2.50n:

1.25(10) + 2.50(30) = $12.50 + $75 = $87.50

Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks.
