Question

Mr. Layton needs to buy some oil for his central heating. He can put up to 2500 litres of oil in his oil tank. There are already 750 litres of oil in the tank. Mr. Layton is going to fill the tank with oil. The price of oil is 58.4 p per litre. Mr. Layton gets 6% off the price of the oil. How much does Mr. Layton pay for the oil he needs to buy

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tank holds 2500 liters and there are already 750 liters in there, he only needs to buy 1750 liters.

If he is saving 6%, he is still spending 94%, so

.94(58.4) = 54.896 (what he'll be paying per liter after the 6% comes off, then

54.896(1750) = $96,068
