Question

the list price of an item is 85.49 dollars the supplier is offering a serious trade discount of 5/22 use complements to find the net cost

Answer 1

Given: the price of the item = $85.49

The discount = 5/22

So, the complements =

`1-(5)/(22)=(22)/(22)-(5)/(22)=(22-5)/(22)=(17)/(22)`

So, the net price will be :

`(17)/(22)*85.49=66.06`

So, the answer to the nearest cent = $66.06
