Answer 1

To purchase a laptop and a printer at Computer Warehouse with a 50% discount on the printer, it would cost $761.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of purchasing a laptop and a printer, we need to find the discounted price of the printer when buying the laptop. The laptop costs $698.00, and the printer is normally priced at $126.00.

If you get 50% off the price of the printer, you would save $63.00 (50% of $126.00). Therefore, the discounted price of the printer would be $126.00 - $63.00 = $63.00.

Now, to find the total cost of purchasing the laptop and the printer, we simply need to add the cost of the laptop and the discounted price of the printer. So, $698.00 + $63.00 = $761.00. Therefore, the cost to purchase a laptop and the printer is $761.00.

Therefore, the total cost to purchase both the laptop and the discounted printer is c) $761.00.
