Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Estimate: 3430

The exact answer lies between 3415 and 3417

Discussion:

488 is approximately 490, so the total number of sheets in 7 pages packages is approximately 490 * 7= 3430 (as 49 *7 = 280 + 63 = 343)

The exact answer if 488 * 7 = 3416 which lies between 3415 and 3417

Thank you,

MrB
