Question

A car dealership offers two types of discount.

Discount 1: Take 5% off the original price of a car built last year and then receive a $3,500 rebate.

Discount 2: Take 10% off the original price of a car built last year and then receive a $1,250 rebate.

A customer is deciding between two cars.

Car R was built last year and has an original price of $25,340.
Car S was built this year and has an original price of $22,860.

Based on this information, which statement is true?

A) The customer would pay $23,107 for Car R

B) The customer would pay $24,073 for Car R

C) The customer would pay $19,324 for Car S

D) The customer would pay $21,824 for Car S

Answer 1

$19,324 for Car S.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The customer would pay $19,324 for Car S.

Explanation:

Take Car S

$22,860 x .1 (ten percent) = $2,286

$22,860 (original car price) - $2,286 (minus the 10%) = $20,574 (new car price)

$20,574 - rebate of $1,250 = $19,324

The customer would pay $19,324 for Car S.

All other do not come out but this one does, so that is the only option for this!
