MULTIPLE CHOICE

Answer 1

Answer: $2,800

Explanation:

Since each computer is worth $400, we know that for 3 computers, the price would be $1,200 (400 x 3 = 1,200). We know that the fourth computer would have a discount of 50% off. 50% is equal to 1/2, so 400 x 1/2 is equal to $200. For four computers, the price would be $1,400. If we want to find the amount for 8 computers, we have to do 1,400 x 8. The answer to this is 2,800.
