Calculate Total Sheets: Fathi wants to print a 47-page document double-sided with two pages on each side of the sheet. First, we need to calculate the total number of sheets he will use. 47 pages / 4 pages per sheet = 11.75 sheets Since he can't use a fraction of a sheet, he will need to use 12 sheets in total.Calculate Printing Cost: Next, we need to calculate the total cost of printing 12 sheets. 12 sheets * $0.25 per sheet = $3.00 This is the amount that will be deducted from his printing account.Find Remaining Balance: Now, we subtract the total cost of printing from Fathi's initial balance to find the remaining balance in his printing account. Initial balance: $1.10 Cost of printing: $3.00 $1.10 - $3.00 = -$1.90
