b) Mobile-T
What part don't you understand?
Answer
To find the cost of the smartphone at I Shack, we need to apply the discount of 20% to the regular price of $5,800.
a) Cost of the smartphone at I Shack:
Regular price: $5,800
Discount: 20% off
To calculate the discount, we multiply the regular price by the discount rate (20%) and subtract it from the regular price:
Discounted price = Regular price - (Regular price * Discount)
Discounted price = $5,800 - ($5,800 * 0.20)
Discounted price = $5,800 - $1,160
Discounted price = $4,640
Therefore, the cost of the smartphone at I Shack after the 20% discount is $4,640.
Now let's move on to calculating the cost of the smartphone at Mobile-T.
b) Cost of the smartphone at Mobile-T:
Regular price: $5,610
Discount: 1/3 off
To calculate 1/3 off, we need to find 1/3 of the regular price and subtract it from the regular price:
Discounted price = Regular price - (Regular price * 1/3)
Discounted price = $5,610 - ($5,610 * 1/3)
Discounted price = $5,610 - $1,870
Discounted price = $3,740
Therefore, the cost of the smartphone at Mobile-T after the 1/3 discount is $3,740.
Finally, let's find the cost of the smartphone at Cell G.
The advertised price for Cell G is $3,860. This is the sale price, and there is no mention of any discount. Therefore, the cost of the smartphone at Cell G is $3,860.
