Answer 1

Answer:

B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail price (Rp) = $800

Taxes (T) = 5%

• Offer A $75 instant rebate

Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%

TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%

TA = 725 + 725 5%

725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25

TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25

• Offer B 10% off sale

Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%

TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%

800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80

TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%

TB = 720 + 720 5%

720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36

TB = 720 + 36 = $756

• Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax

store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes

Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%

TC = 800 - 800 5%

800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40

TC = 800 - 40 = $760

• Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax

Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price

TD = $800

The beast deal is from the store B
