        The problem says nothing about two side pages;
        so, for simplicity of calculations, I assume one side pages. 


Simple arithmetic, nothing complicated.


Cost = admitting partial reams  = %28%28110%2A579%29%2F500%29%2A29.00 = 3694.02  dollars.

Solved.

If you want two-sided pages, say it in the problem's description.
