To evaluate the statements, we need to calculate the total price after the discount for each scenario.
A. A purchase of 2 shirts selling for $26 each will be charged as $44.20 after the promotion is applied.
-
Calculate the total price: 2 shirts × $26/shirt = $52.
-
Since the total ($52) is $50 or more, a 25% discount applies. Discount amount = 25% of $52 = 0.25 × $52 = $13.
-
Price after discount = $52 - $13 = $39.
This statement is incorrect (it states $44.20, but the correct total is $39).
B. A purchase of 3 books selling for $15 each will be charged as $33.75 after the promotion is applied.
-
Calculate the total price: 3 books × $15/book = $45.
-
Since the total ($45) is less than $50, a 15% discount applies. Discount amount = 15% of $45 = 0.15 × $45 = $6.75.
-
Price after discount = $45 - $6.75 = $38.25.
This statement is incorrect (it states $33.75, but the correct total is $38.25).
C. A purchase of 2 pots selling for $20 each and 1 roasting pan selling for $35 will be charged as $56.25 after the promotion is applied.
-
Calculate the total price: 2 pots × $20/pot + 1 roasting pan × $35 = $40 + $35 = $75.
-
Since the total ($75) is $50 or more, a 25% discount applies. Discount amount = 25% of $75 = 0.25 × $75 = $18.75.
-
Price after discount = $75 - $18.75 = $56.25.
This statement is correct.
In conclusion, the only correct statement is:
C. A purchase of 2 pots selling for $20 each and 1 roasting pan selling for $35 will be charged as $56.25 after the promotion is applied.
