Answer 1

To find out how much it will cost Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we can substitute the values of \( p \) and \( n \) into the equation \( 1.25p + 2.50n \).

Given:

• \( p = 10 \)
• \( n = 30 \)

Now we substitute these values into the equation:

\[ 1.25(10) + 2.50(30) \]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 1.25 \times 10 = 12.50 \)
2. \( 2.50 \times 30 = 75.00 \)

Now, we add these two results together:

\[ 12.50 + 75.00 = 87.50 \]

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

The correct response is $87.50.
