Respuesta :
3 boxes of paper cost 3*21.99=65.97, 2 toner cartridges cost 2*52.90=105.8.
Given that there's 20% off for all office supplies, then 3 boxes of paper cost 3*$21.99*0.8=$52.78,
2 toner cartridges cost 2*$52.90*0.8=$84.64, the price of folder is $0.99*0.8=$0.792.
So, after buying these things given that there's 20% off for all office supplies, he will have only
$175-$52.78—$84.64= $37.58.
As 37.58/0.792=47.45, hence he can buy only 47 folders

If Joe needs to buy [tex]3[/tex] boxes of paper and [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridges, then he can buy [tex]47[/tex] folders.
What is budget ?
Budget is a plan of how to spend an amount of money over a particular period of time.
We have,
Total budget [tex]= \$175[/tex]
Cost of a Paper box [tex]=\$ 21.99[/tex]
Cost of a toner cartridge [tex]=\$52.90[/tex]
Cost of a folder [tex]=\$0.99[/tex]
And, All office supplies are [tex]20\%[/tex] off.
Now,
According to the question;
Cost of [tex]3[/tex] Paper box [tex]=\$ 21.99*3=\$65.97[/tex]
Cost of [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridge [tex]=\$52.90*2=\$105.8[/tex]
So, Total cost of [tex]3[/tex] Paper box and [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridge [tex]=\$65.97+\$105.8=\$171.77[/tex]
And,
We are given that All office supplies are [tex]20\%[/tex] off.
And price of one folder [tex]=0.99*80\%=\$0.792[/tex]
So,
So, Total cost of [tex]3[/tex] Paper box and [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridge [tex]=\$171.77*80\%[/tex]
i.e.
Total cost of [tex]3[/tex] Paper box and [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridge [tex]=\$137.416[/tex]
So,
Money left [tex]=175-137.41=\$37.584[/tex]
So,
Number of folders Joe can buy [tex]=\frac{37.584}{0.792} =47[/tex]
Hence, we can say that if Joe needs to buy [tex]3[/tex] boxes of paper and [tex]2[/tex] toner cartridges, then he can buy [tex]47[/tex] folders.
