Question

Responses

A;Yes, it is possible because the price for 12 tables is less than $3,000.
B: Yes, it is possible because 11.8 would round up to 12..
C: No, the value would round down to 11 tables.
D; No, it is not possible to purchase 0.8 of a table.

Answer 1

To determine if the manager can purchase 12 tables for no more than $3,000, we need to calculate the total cost of 12 tables at a price of $254 each.

Total cost = Number of tables × Cost per table
Total cost = 12 × $254 = $3,048

Since $3,048 is greater than $3,000, it is not possible to purchase 12 tables within the budget.

The correct response is: D: No, it is not possible to purchase 0.8 of a table.
