Question

Answer 1

The total amount of money Alex spends on 5 DVD = $ 35.

Explanation:

Total number of DVD purchased by Alex = 5

The cost of each DVD = $9

So, the total cost of purchasing 5 DVD = 5 x ( csot of 1 DVD)

= 5 x ( $ 9) = $ 45

Now , the discount if 1 DVD = $ 2

So, the total discount of 5 DVD = 5 x ( Discount on1 DVD)

= 5 x ($ 2) = $ 10

⇒ The total amount Alex spends

= Total cost of 5 DVD - Discount on 5 DVD

= $ 45 - $ 10 = $ 35

Hence, the total amount of money Alex spends on 5 DVD = $ 35.
