A long year-end status report for work is 137 pages long. You need to print 13 copies for a meeting next week. How much is the paper going to cost for those reports? Paper is sold in reams (500 pages) for $3.13 each.ive your answer to the nearest cent, only for the paper you use (partial reams are OK)

First, calculate the total number of pages required to print 13 copies of the 137-page report:

\[
\text{Total pages} = 137 \times 13 = 1781 \text{ pages}
\]

Next, determine how many reams of paper are needed. Since one ream contains 500 pages:

\[
\text{Reams needed} = \frac{1781}{500} = 3.562 \text{ reams}
\]

Now, calculate the cost by multiplying the number of reams by the cost per ream:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 3.562 \times 3.13 = 11.15
\]

So, the cost of the paper needed to print the reports is **$11.15**.
