The first thing you should do in this case is to know how much paper you need to print for the 17 copies.
 We have then:
 (17) * (130) = 2210
 Then, you must calculate the number of reams you need:
 n = (2210) / (500) = 4.42
 You need 4 full reams and 42% of a fifth ream. So, the cost will be
 C = (4.42) * (3.44) = 15.2048 $
 The unit cost of each paper is:
 Cu = (15.2048) / (2210) = 0.00688 $
 answer
 the paper is going to cost 0.00688 $ for those reports

Answer:

Cost of paper for all the reports which are to be printed = $15.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the work report = 130 pages

Now, number of copies to be printed for meeting = 17

So, total number of pages needed to be printed = no. of copies × length of each report

⇒ Total number of pages = 17 × 130

                                          = 2210

Now, cost of 500 pages = $3.44

[tex]\text{Cost of 1 page = }\frac{3.44}{500}=\$0.00688\\\\\text{Cost of 2210 pages = }2210\times 0.00688=\$15.20[/tex]

Hence, Cost of paper for all the reports which are to be printed = $15.20
