Answer:

$27

Explanation:

We know that the employees have a total of $1400

We also know that they spent $320 on a coffee machine

So, we start by subtracting 320 from 1400

1400 - 320 = 1080

So they have $1080 to spend on as many bean bags as possible

We also know they will have a 10% discount because they are able to buy more than 10

We know they can buy more than 10 because 10 would only cost $450 + discount, and they have over $1000

So, we subtract 10% from 45

45 x 0.10 = 4.5

45 - 4.5 = 40.5

So, with the discount, each bean bag costs $40.50

So, we just divide 40.5 by 1080

1080 ÷ 40.5 = 26.6667

Since you can't buy a fraction of a bean bag, they are able to buy a total of 26 bean bags

26 x 40.5 = 1053

1080 - 1053 = 27

They have $27 left over

Answer:

£36

Explanation:

1400-320=1080/45=24

so it is more than 10

10bag=10% discount

10% of 1080=108*2=216-45*4=36
