Q: In one of the building blocks at Oakland High there are 5 classes. Each class uses 2 whiteboards each and each whiteboard needs about 20ml of ink for a day's use. If ink costs 50 cents per ml, how much (in dollars) would it cost to use the boards for one day?
A: Each ml of ink costs 50 cents so 20 ml costs 20 * 50 = 1000 cents. There are 2 whiteboards in each class so each class needs 2 * 1000 cents = 2000 cents. There are five classes in the block so they all need 5 * 1 * 2000 cents = 10000 cents. 100 cents make a dollar so 10000 cents make 10000 / 100 = $100. The answer is 100.
