Customer World provides services to customers and allows customers to pay by credit card. On Thursday, a customer purchased a case of flash drives for $65 and used a credit card to pay. The credit card company charges Computer World a transaction fee equal to $0.25 + 2% of the total charge. What is the transaction fee Customer World must pay on this sale?

Answer 1

The answer is $1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, we have the following:

Money spent by customer = $65

Transaction fee = $0.25

Percentage charge = 2% of the total charge

We calculate the total transaction fee as follows:

2% of $65 will be = 0.02 X $65

=> $1.3

Recall that there is a transaction fee = $0.25.

Therefore, total transaction fee:

$1.3 + $0.25

=> $1.55
