Question

Sarah wants to purchase some gifts for her friends. A nearby spa has spa treatments for $57.83 and gift certificates for $62.00. She will receive a 12% discount for a purchase over $100. She decides to purchase two spa treatments and three gift certificates. What is her total cost? * O $301.66 $265.46 O $271.56 O $337.86

Answer 1

spa treatment costs $57.83 and a gift certificate costs $62.00.

Sarah decided to buy two spa treatments and three gift certificates; therefore, her cost will be

`2(57.83)+3(62.00)=301.66`

Since the purchase is over$100, Sarah gets 12% discount; thereofore, her total purchase cost now is

`(100-12)/(100)*301.66`
`=265.46`

Hence, Sarah's total cost is $265.46.
