Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Brian can purchase the laptop, but not the desktop computer

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

We'll evaluate two options for Brian's purchase of a new computer. The first option is to purchase a laptop with a price of $1,100. The laptops have a 15% discount. Let's compute the price of the laptop after the discount is applied:

Original price: 1,100

Discount: 15% = 15*1,100/100=165

Final price: $935

With a budget of $1,000, Brian can purchase the laptop.

Now we'll analyze the option of purchasing the desktop computer valued at $1,365 with a discount of 25%:

Original price: 1,365

Discount: 25% = 25*1,365/100=341.25

Final price: $1023.75

With a budget of $1,000, Brian cannot purchase the desktop computer.

Answer: Brian can purchase the laptop, but not the desktop computer

Answer 2

Answer:

Brian's budget = 1,000.00

Therefore, Brian could only afford the Laptop.

Laptop = $935.00

Desktop = $1,023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

discount amount      discount

_____________ = _________

 original price              100%

Laptop computer:

discount amount = x

original price = $1,100.00

discount% = 15%

x/1,100 = 15/100

x ⋅ 100 = 15 ⋅ 1,100 (cross multiply)

100x = 16,500

100x/100 = 16,500/100

x = 165

Desktop computer:

discount amount = x

original price = $1,365.00

discount% = 25%

x/1,365 = 25/100

x ⋅ 100 = 25 ⋅ 1,365

100x = 34,125

100x/100 = 34,125/100

x = 341.25

Formula:

Sale price = original $ - discount $

Laptop = $1,100.00 - $165.00 = $935.00

Desktop = $1,365.00 - $341.25 = $1,023.75
