For question 8, we need to compare the price per liter of each option to find the best buy. To do this, we'll divide the total cost by the total volume in liters. Let's calculate the price per liter for each option:
Option A: 1 * 2 = 2 liters
Price per liter = $0.89 / 2 = $0.445 per liter
Option B: 3 * 1 = 3 liters
Price per liter = $1.50 / 3 = $0.50 per liter
Option C: 24 * 0.5 = 12 liters
Price per liter = $5.25 / 12 = $0.4375 per liter
Option D: 36 * 0.25 = 9 liters
Price per liter = $4.75 / 9 = $0.5278 per liter
From the calculations, we can see that Option A has the lowest price per liter, making it the best buy for bottled water.
For question 9, we need to calculate the sale price of the jeans after the discount and including the tax. Let's do the calculations step by step:
Original price of the jeans = $40
Discounted price = (100% - 20%) * $40 = 80% * $40 = $32
To find the tax amount, we calculate 8% of the discounted price:
Tax amount = 8% * $32 = $2.56
Finally, we add the tax amount to the discounted price to get the sale price including tax:
Sale price = $32 + $2.56 = $34.56
So, option B, $34.56, is the sale price of the jeans including tax.
For question 10, we need to find Tamika's commission earnings based on a 12% commission rate and her total sales of $3740. Let's calculate it:
Commission earnings = 12% of $3740
Commission earnings = (12/100) * $3740
Calculating this, we find that Tamika earned $448.8 in commission for January.
Rounding to the nearest dollar, Tamika's commission earnings for January would be $449, so option B is the correct answer.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
