To solve this problem, we need the proportionality constant relating the cost, number of pages, and number of magazines. Let's call this constant k.
Therefore, we can write the equation as: c = k * p * m
We need to find the value of k in order to find the printing cost.
To find k, we need to use some given information.
Let's assume that when we print 1 copy of a 1-page magazine, it costs $x. Therefore, we can write the equation:
x = k * 1 * 1
x = k
Now, we can substitute the values into the equation to find the printing cost for 1000 copies of a 76-page magazine:
c = k * p * m
c = x * 76 * 1000
c = 76x * 1000
However, since we don't know the exact value of x, we cannot calculate the specific cost.
The cost c of printing a magazine is jointly proportional to the number of pages p in the magazine and the number of magazines printed m
How much would the printing cost be for 1000 copies of a 76 page magazine?
