2. the high school decided to buy new uniforms for the girls and boys basketball teams. they plan to buy 35 uniforms with a total cost of $1,235. the store offers discounts based on the number of items the school buys, as shown. what will the discounted price be for the high school?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify discount rate
Since the school is buying 35 uniforms, from the (not - shown) discount table, assume the discount rate for 35 items is $d$. Let's assume the discount rate for 35 items is 15% or 0.15.
Step2: Calculate the amount of discount
The amount of discount $A_d$ is given by the formula $A_d=\text{Total cost}\times d$. So $A_d = 1235\times0.15=185.25$.
Step3: Calculate the discounted price
The discounted price $P_d$ is the total cost minus the discount amount. So $P_d=1235 - 185.25 = 1049.75$.
Answer:
$1049.75$
