Question

The furniture store sells dining room tables and chairs. single chairs for particular table sell for 75.00 each. the cost for four chairs when the customer purchases the entire set is 200. what is the percent savings on the 4-chair set rounded to the nearest whole percent?

a.25%
b.33%
c.50%
d.66%

Answer 1

B, 33%

Explanation:

Let us find the original price of four chairs without the special deal, and compare it with the deal to find the percent savings.

Step 1:

A customer must buy 4 chairs costing $75 each to recieve the deal. Let us multiply 4 by 75 to find the total cost without the deal:

`4*75=\\300`

Step 2:

We now know the original cost of the 4 chairs, and the price of 4 chairs with a deal. Let us subtract the difference of costs and convert it into a percentage to find percent savings:

`300-200=100\\(100)/(300) =(1)/(3)`

`(1)/(3)=33`%

Therefore, B, the percent savings is 33%.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
