To calculate the total cost of each possible present, let's assume the cost of each present is as follows:

Present A: $10
Present B: $7
Present C: $15
Present D: $d (where d is the value you choose)

To determine which present Winona and Takoda should buy, we need to consider the total cost. Here are the calculations for each present:

Present A: Total cost = $10 (present cost) + $5 (shipping fee) = $15
Present B: Total cost = $7 (present cost) + $5 (shipping fee) = $12
Present C: Total cost = $15 (present cost) + $5 (shipping fee) = $20
Present D: Total cost = $d (present cost) + $5 (shipping fee)

Assuming you choose a value for d that is greater than $25 and less than $100, let's say d = $30. In this case, the total cost for Present D would be $30 (present cost) + $5 (shipping fee) = $35.

Based on the calculations, Winona and Takoda should buy Present D. Even though it has a higher present cost, the total cost ($35) is within their budget range, and it provides a substantial gift for the value spent. They can consider it as a thoughtful and worthwhile option.

To calculate the total cost of each present after applying the given discounts, we can use the following information:

Present A (Power tools):
Discount: 15%
Total Paid = Present Cost - (Discount * Present Cost)

Present B (Water skis):
Discount: 25%
Total Paid = Present Cost - (Discount * Present Cost)

Present C (Jewelry):
Discount: 10%
Total Paid = Present Cost - (Discount * Present Cost)

Since we don't have a specific value for "d" in your question, let's assume d = $50 for illustrative purposes. Now we can calculate the total cost for each present:

Present A (Power tools):
Total Paid = $50 - (0.15 * $50) = $50 - $7.50 = $42.50

Present B (Water skis):
Total Paid = ($50 + 15) - (0.25 * ($50 + 15)) = $65 - $16.25 = $48.75

Present C (Jewelry):
Total Paid = ($50 - 5) - (0.10 * ($50 - 5)) = $45 - $4.50 = $40.50

Based on these calculations, Winona and Takoda should buy Present C (Jewelry). Even though it has the lowest initial cost, after applying the discount, the total paid is the lowest among the options ($40.50). This allows them to stay within their budget while still purchasing a valuable and thoughtful gift.
