Answer 2

The correct answer is option C: $26.47

Explanation:

Natasha orders 3 large holders for $4.95 each, 2 medium holders for 3.25 each and 2 small holders for $1.75 each.

Total cost becomes:

`(3*4.95)+(2*3.25)+(2*1.75)`

=
`14.85+6.5+3.5=24.85` dollars

15% off on $24.85 will be =
`0.15*24.85=3.7275`

So, Natasha has to pay =
`24.85-3.7275=21.1225` dollars

There is no sales tax on her purchase, but she must pay a flat rate of $5.35 for shipping and handling.

Total amount now becomes =
`21.1225+5.35=26.4725` dollars

Therefore, option C is the answer.
