Question

Paul has decided to set up his own recording studio. He needs to purchase four speakers at $435 apiece and two mixers at $772 apiece. He also needs to soundproof a room, which will cost him $838.

If Paul has $4,500 in his savings account, how close can he come to setting up his studio?

a. Paul can set up his studio and have $378 left over.
b. Paul can set up his studio and have $410 left over.
c. Paul needs an additional $1,166 to set up his studio.
d. Paul needs an additional $296 to set up his studio.

Answer 1

Answer: a

Explanation:

Answer 2

Okay. So for the four speakers, you need to multiply 435 by 4. That gets you 1740.

For the two mixers, you need to multiply 772 by 2. That gets you 1544.


Add those two together, plus the 838 for the soundproofing, to get your final total cost. $4,122. It is less than 4,500, so subtract.


Paul can set up his studio and have $378 left over.
