Question

Mr. U is trying to boost sales of his new video game

"Universe of Peacemaking." He buys 10,000 copies over
the internet to hide his identity. The merchant charges
him $100.00 shipping but doesn't charge any sales tax.
How much did Mr. U pay for each game if his total
was $799,700?
A) $17.99
B) $27.96
C) $59.97
D) $69.99
E) $79.96

Answer 1

Mr. U paid $79.97 for each game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost per game, we need to divide the total cost by the number of games bought. Since Mr. U bought 10,000 copies, the cost per game is:

$799,700 / 10,000 = $79.97

Therefore, Mr. U paid $79.97 for each game.

Answer 2

E) $79.96

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $799700 - $100 (the sales tax) = $799600

2. $79600 / 10,000 (number of copies Mr. U bought) = $79.96.

Each game costs $79.96.

Hope this helped :)
