A car dealership offers two types of discounts.
• Discount 1: Take 5% off the original price of a car built last year and then receive a $3,500 rebate.
• Discount 2: Take 10% off the original price of a car built this year and then receive a $1,250 rebate.
A customer is deciding between two cars.
• Car R was built last year and has an original price of $25,340.
• Car S was built this year and has an original price of $22,860.
Based on this information, which statement is true?
The customer would pay $19,324 for Car S.
The customer would pay $24,073 for Car R.
The customer would pay $21,824 for Car S.
The customer would pay $23,107 for Car R.
The customer would pay $24,073 for Car R.
For Car R:
After the 5% discount, the price would be $25,340 - 5% = $25,340 - $1,267 = $24,073.
Then, after the $3,500 rebate, the final price would be $24,073 - $3,500 = $20,573.
Therefore, the customer would pay $24,073 for Car R.
