What is the percentage decrease by purchasing the packagedeal?15.8%16.5%17.7%18.4%None of these choices are correct.

Answer 1

First, we have to add all the costs

`36.45+30.11+57.43+37.32=161.31`

Then, we divide this total cost by 131.69.

`(161.31)/(131.69)=1.22`

At last, we subtract the number from 1

`1.22-1=0.22`

This means the percentage of decrease is 22%.

Hence, none of these choices are correct.
