Question

You are an office manager. You have been asked to research the cost of an online messaging service. The service charges $3.25 per employee each month. However, if you sign up for a full one-year subscription, the charge drops to $2.80 per employee per month. Your office has 20 employees.

Answer 1

Answer: $108.00

Explanation:

$3.25 per employee, per month (3.25 x 20 x 12) = $780/ mo

$2.80 per employee, per month (2.80 x 20 x 12) = $672/mo

subtract the two, which equals $108.00 will be saved each year with the one-year subscription.

Answer 2

The final cost for the service that offers the better deal is $56 per month, in total for the whole year it's $672.

The cost for the one that offers the worse deal is $65 per month.

Explanation:

All we need to do is multiply the amount of money by the number of employees.

So:

20 × $2.80 = $56

(Calculations for worse deal)

20 × $3.25 = $65
