Answer:
option c
Step-by-step explanation:
a guitar 15% off means that the cost is now 85%
now the 8% of 170 is
so the total cost is
170+13.6
183.6
The information in the question let’s us solve for A using a ratio:
A / (A + 291) = 2 / 5
5A = 2A + 582
3A = 582
A = 194
Now we can use ratios again to solve for C:
11 / 2 = C / 194
2C = 2134
C = 1067
We can determine that there are two types of soup: one can costing $0.54, and the other costing $0.34. 5 cans of the $0.54 soup would cost a total of $2.70, while 5 cans of the $0.34 soup would cost $1.70. Therefore, the combined cost of all 10 cans of soup, being 5 of each type, is $4.40.
