He also had to pay late fees in the amount of $27 three different times. What is the total cost of the dishwasher?

$858.12



$794.82



$875.82



$777.12

Answer 1

You would take 129.52 and multiply it by 6 which is 777.12 but then he paid 2.95 for each purchase so you multiply 2.95 by 6 which is 17.70 then you add those numbers together and get 794.82 and then it says that he paid late 3 different times which is a fee of 27$ each so you multiply 27 by 3 which is 81 then you add it to 794.82 and you get 875.82 Answer is C

Answer 2

C. $875.82

Explanation:

If Nat makes six monthly payments of $129.52 with his credit card, total payment for the six month will be;

6×$129.52 = $777.12

Also, if the rental center charges is $2.95 for every purchase made with a credit card, charge for the 6months will be 6×$2.95 = $17.7

If he also had to pay late fees in the amount of $27 three different time, the total late fees paid will be 3×$27 = $81

To get the total cost of the dish washer, we will add all the expenses together to give;

$777.12+$17.7+$81

= $875.82
