Question

A pharmacist orders medications for a total of $6,439.65.a 6 44% discount is given if payment is made within

15 days, and a 2.5% discount is given if payment is made within 30 days. how much money can be saved by paying in 15 days instead of 30 days?

Answer 1

2,672.45475 (round if needed)

Explanation:

44 percent to a decimal is 0.44

2.5 percent to a decimal is 0.025

6,439.65 × 0.44 = 2833.446 (within 15 days)

6,439.65 × 0.025 = 160.99125 (within 30 days)

2833.446 - 160.99125 = 2,672.45475
