Given:

Cost of the item is $500.

Tax offer percentage is 7%.

The objective is to find the offer amount.

Consider the offer amount as x.

Then, the value of x can be calculated as 7% of total cost of the item.


\begin{gathered} (7)/(100)(500)=x \\ (3500)/(100)=x \\ x=35 \end{gathered}

Thus, the money saved for this offer is $35.

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
