Question

carla sells cashews for $14 per pound. today he is dicounting the price by 20%. if carla buys 1 1/2 pounds of cashews at the discounted price, how much will she pay?

Answer 1

The price at discounted rate = $ 16.8

Explanation:

Given in question as ,

The rate of cashews for selling = $14 per pound

Now Carla discounting the price by 20%

So , new price of cashews = 14 - (20% × 14)

Or, = 14 ×
`(80)/(100)`

Or, New price of cashews = $11.2 per pound

Again , Carla buys
`(3)/(2)` pounds of cashews at discounted price

∵ , cost of 1 pound cashews = $ 11.2

∴ , cost of
`(3)/(2)` pound =
`(3)/(2)` × $ 11.2

=
`(3×11.2)/(2)`

= $ 16.8

Hence the price at discounted rate = $ 16.8 Answer
