Clarissa is responsible for getting 10 copies of a manuscript printed and having each copy bound. The printers charge $0.05 per page to copy it and $5.00 per manuscript to have it bound. If the manuscript is 400 pages, how much will it cost to have it copied and bound 10 times? Let's be accurate as possible.

The manuscript is 400 pages and the printers charge $0.05 per page for a total of 400 * .05 = $20.00 per manuscript. She needs 10 copies made and it costs $20.00 per manuscript so that's 10 * 20 = $200.00. She also needs each of the 10 copies to be bound, which is $5.00 per manuscript so that's 5 * 10 = $50.00. It will cost $200.00 to have them printed and $50.00 to have them bound for a total of 200 + 50 = $250.00.
The answer: 250.
