Complete Question:
You're planning to buy a new computer, monitor, and printer for your office. You've received the following prices from two stores:
Store 1 Store 2
Computer: 2,500 Computer: 2,350
Monitor: 595 Monitor: 435
Printer: 398 Printer: 349
Find the total package price from each store and then calculate how much you'll save if you purchase the less expensive package.
Answer:
[tex]Total = 3493[/tex] --- Store 1
[tex]Total = 3134[/tex] --- Store 2
[tex]Saved = 359[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From store 1, the total cost is:
[tex]Total = 2500 + 595 + 398[/tex]
[tex]Total = 3493[/tex]
For store 2, the total cost is
[tex]Total = 2350 + 435 + 349[/tex]
[tex]Total = 3134[/tex]
By comparison: It is cheaper to buy from store 2
Because [tex]3134 < 3493[/tex]
Amount saved is calculated by subtracting the cheaper cost from the expensive cost:
i.e.
[tex]Saved = 3493 - 3134[/tex]
[tex]Saved = 359[/tex]
