Question

Ebony owns a dress-making company that sells directly to stores. She charges $14.60 per dress if the store orders up to 40 dresses. For each additional dress ordered after the initial 40 dresses, Ebony takes 1/4 off the original price. If a store bought 56 dresses from Ebony, how much did the store pay?

Answer 1

The store pays $992.80 dollars

Explanation:

First we multiply 14.60 by 40.

14.60 x 40 = 584

Next we find out what 14.60 times 1/2 is.

14.60 x 1/2 = 7.3

Then we multiply 56 by 7.3

56 x 7.3 = 408.8

Finally we add both prices.

584 + 408.8 = 992.80

So, the answer is $992.80

Hope this helps! :)
