Answer:

$19.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

number of pages= 136 pages

number of copies = 19 copies

Hence 19 copies make a total of = 136*19

=2584 pages

hence if 500 pages cost $3.80

  then   2584 pages will cost x

cross multiply

500x= 2584*3.8

500x=9819.2

Divide both sides by 500

x= 9819.2/500

x= 19.6384

x=$19.60

It will cost $19.60
