A printing press uses 84 kg of paper to print 3500 booklets. How much paper will be required to print 5000 booklets ?
120 kg
The paper required per booklet is found by dividing the total paper by the number of booklets: \(\frac{84}{3500}\) kg per booklet.
For 5000 booklets, the paper needed is \(\frac{84}{3500} \times 5000\).
\(\frac{84 \times 5000}{3500} = 120\)
Hence, 120 kg of paper will be required to print 5000 booklets.
