Question

Harold Franklin bought a new suit to wear to work. He paid $395 for the suit. He had the suit dry-cleaned four times a year at a cost of $17.50 each time. He wore the suit forfive years. What was the average annual cost of the suit?$149$144$136$130None of these choices are correct

Answer 1

We have the next information

Cost of the suit = 395

dry cleaned cost =17.50

17.50 four times a week

the time he used the suit = 5 years

First, we need to divide the cost of the suit between 5

`(395)/(5)=79`

then we need to sum the result above with the four times he dries cleaned his suit

`79+4(17.5)=149`

As we can see the average annual cost of the suit is $149
