Question

The high school decided to buy new uniforms for the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams. They plan to buy 35 uniforms with a total cost of $1,235. The store offers discounts based on the number of items the school buys, as shown. What will the discounted price be for the high school?

A. $1,235 (no discount)
B. $1,120
C. $1,050
D. $980

Answer 1

The high school cannot calculate the discounted price without knowing the specific discount percentage offered by the store. Therefore, the correct answer is A. $1,235 (no discount).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the discounted price for the high school uniforms, we need to determine the total cost per uniform. We divide the total cost of $1,235 by the number of uniforms, which is 35, to get the cost per uniform: $1,235 / 35 = $35.29. The store offers discounts based on the number of items purchased, but we don't have that information in the question. Therefore, we can't determine the discounted price without knowing the specific discount percentage offered by the store. So, the correct answer would be A. $1,235 (no discount).
