Question

Brian budgeted $1,000.00 for a new computer. Will give brainly and extra points

Answer 1

Answer:

Brian could only afford the laptop computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

discount amount      discount

______________ = ________

original price             100%

For Laptop Computer:

discount amount = x

original price = $ 1,100.00

discount% = 15%

x/1,100 = 15/100

x ⋅ 100 = 15 ⋅ 1,100

100x = 16,500

100x/100 = 16,500/100

x = $165.00

For Desktop Computer:

discount amount = x

original price = $1,365.00

discount% = 25%

x/1365 = 25/100

x ⋅ 100 = 25 ⋅ 1,365

100x = 34,125

100x/100 = 34,125/100

x = $341.25

Sale price = original $ - discount $ =

Laptop Computer: 1,100 - 165 = $935.00

Desktop computer: 1,365 - 341.25 = $1,023.75

Since Brian only has the budget of $1,000.00, he can only afford the Laptop computer.

$1,000.00 < $1,023.75

$1,000.00 > $935.00

Answer 2

The laptop is 15% off so it is selling for 85% of the original price ( 100 a 15 = 85)

1100 x 0.85 = 935

The desktop is 25% off so sells for 75% of the original price(100-25= 75)

1365 x 0.75 = $1023.75

The laptop ends up being under the $1000 that he has saved so he can buy the laptop.
