An item you want is regularly $45.78, but is on sale for $30 this week. If the tax is 5%, but the shipping is the same for both, how much will you save by ordering the item on sale? choices: $5.78 $17.28 $15.78 $16.57

(45.78*0.05)+45.78=48.069

(30*0.05)+30=31.5

48.069-31.5=16.569
----------------------------------------------------------
The closest you can get would be 16.57

There for the answer is D. 16.57
