Question

An online buying club requires an annual fee of $170 in order to qualify for a 19 percent discount on purchases. What amount would a person have to buy in order to save enough to cover the cost of the membership?

Answer 1

Answer : The amount needed to spend to save $170 is, $32.3

Explanation :

As we are given that an online buying club requires an annual fee of $170 and a 19% discount on purchases.

Now we have to determine the amount needed to spend to save $170.

As, for every $100 the discount will be = $19

So, for every $170 the discount will be = $\frac{\ 170}{\ 100}\times \ 19$

                                                                 = $32.3

Thus, the amount needed to spend to save $170 is, $32.3
