To find the cost of purchasing 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we need to evaluate the expression 1.25p + 2.5n where p = 10 and n = 30.
Substituting the given values, we have:
1.25(10) + 2.5(30)
Simplifying the expression, we have:
12.5 + 75
Adding the two numbers together, the total cost comes out to be:
87.5
Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks.
