Question

If you purchase business software for $69.95 and anti-virus software for $49.95,

you get a $20 mail-in rebate for the business software and a $30 mail-in rebate
for the anti-virus software.

If each envelope costs 20¢ and each stamp costs 394, what is the total cost
after the rebates?
How much is the actual rebate after your expenses?

Answer 1

The cost before rebates is: $69.95 + $49.95 = $119.90

The total rebate amount is: $20 + $30 = $50

The cost of two envelopes is: 2 x $0.20 = $0.40

The cost of two stamps is: 2 x $0.394 = $0.788

The total cost after rebates and including expenses is: $119.90 - $50 + $0.40 + $0.788 = $70.078

Rounding to two decimal places, the total cost after rebates and including expenses is $70.08

The actual rebate after expenses is: $50 - $0.40 - $0.788 = $48.812

Rounding to two decimal places, the actual rebate after expenses is $48.81
