Part C What will be Stephanie’s total discounted cost if Snowballs treatment requires six veterinary appointment?

Answer 1

A: t = 250 + 45a

B: t = 0.75(250 + 45a)

C: $390

Explanation:

We are using 75% because that will be the total price with a discount of 25%, because 75% + 25% = 100%

t = 0.75(250 + 45 * 6)

t = 0.75(250 + 270)

t = 0.75(520)

t = 390
