carla sells cashews for $14 per pound. today he is dicounting the price by 20%. if carla buys 1 1/2 pounds of cashews at the discounted price, how much will she pay?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The price at discounted rate = $ 16.8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as ,

The rate of cashews for selling = $14 per pound

Now Carla discounting the price by 20%

So , new price of cashews = 14 - (20% × 14)

Or,                                        =  14 ×[tex]\frac{80}{100}[/tex]

Or, New price of cashews =  $11.2 per pound

Again , Carla buys [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] pounds of cashews at discounted price

∵ , cost of 1 pound cashews = $ 11.2

∴ , cost of [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] pound = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] × $ 11.2

                                                             = [tex]\frac{3×11.2}{2}[/tex]

                                                             = $ 16.8

Hence the price at discounted rate = $ 16.8      Answer
