Question

Jana and Tim both sell cleaning products to local housecleaning services. When Jana orders from the manufacturer of the products she sells, she is given a 15% discount on her total purchase, and she must pay a $15 shipping fee. Each of Tim's orders to his manufacturer is charged at 85% of the full purchase price of the products, and he pays a $4 handling fee, plus $11 for shipping. Choose ALL of the statements that are true. When Jana and Tim purchase products having the same total value, their costs for the purchases will always be the same. Jana and Tim will never spend exactly the same amount on purchase orders to their manufacturers. Jana and Tim will only spend the same amount on purchase orders to their manufacturers when they each order products with a total purchase value of $100. If Jana switches to Tim's manufacturer for her product purchases, her cost will decrease. If Tim switches to Jana's manufacturer for his product purchases, his cost will remain the same.
