Answer 1

Given:

There are given two suppliers X and Y.

Where,

X offers a mechanic a part of 35% off the retail price of $68.20 and Y offers at 20% over the wholesale cost of $37.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best offers, we need to find their percentages one by one.

So,

First, find the offer amount from supplier X.

So,

`X=68.20-68.20*35\%`

Then,

Now,

For the Y suppliers:

`Y=37.50-37.50*20\%`

Then,

So,

The best deal for supplier Y is because they offer $23.87.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is B with $23.87
