Answer:
$123.12
Explanation:
Given that the regular price for the specialty paper is
$6.88 per carton
and the company receives a discount of $1.75 per carton
this means that the company will pay $6.88-$1.75 = $5.13 per carton
To calculate the cost of the supply for 24 cartons we have
24*5.13= $123.12
the cost of the supply is $123.12
alternatively we can also calculate the percentage discount as
Actual cost of 24 cartons= 24*6.88= $165.12
Discount= $6.88-$1.75 = $5.13 per carton
%discount= 1.75/6.88= 0.2543
= 25.43%
The price after discount is
=$165.12*(1-0.2543)
=$165.12*0.7456
= $123.12
