c. Choose a value for d that is greater than $25 and less than $100. Calculate the
total cost of each of the possible presents for the value you chose. Then write a
short paragraph telling Winona and Takoda which present they should buy and
explaining why.
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 ($35) is within their budget range, and it provides a substantial gift for the value spent. They can consider it as a thoughtful and worthwhile option.
the presents cost:
Present Cost ($) Discount (%) Total Paid
Power tools d 15%
Water skis d + 15 25%
Jewelry d – 5 10%
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.
