Question

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reports that the HP Spectre laptop computer starts at $994.00 for a base configuration. The model displayed at its recent show costs $1,353, $118 more than the comparable 13-inch Apple MacBook Air. If Computers-R-Us buys the HP Spectre at the show with 3/15, net 30 terms on August 26, how much does it need to pay on September 9

Answer 1

Answer: $1312.41

Explanation:

The following information can be depicted from the question:

Cost of HP Spectre laptop = $1353

Credit terms = 3/15, net 30

Therefore, since discount allowed is 3%, the complement of the discount rate will be:

= 100% - 3%

= 97%

Therefore, amount needed to pay will be:

= Listed price × Complement of discounts rate

= $1353 × 97%

= $1353 × 0.97

= $1312.41

Therefore, the amount needed to pay is $1312.41
