Answer 2

The correct answer option is c. $8.05.

Explanation:

We are given that a lawnmower costs $284, and the six-year extended warranty on the lawnmower costs 17% as much as the lawnmower itself.

We are to find its effective price per year of the extended warranty.

So, the amount of six year warranty =
`\frac { 17 } { 100 } * 284` = $48.28

Price of warranty per year =
`\frac { 48.28 } { 6 }` = $8.05
