Answer 1

The correct statement will be that Briana saved about $1.80 for purchasing such a backpack costing $45 with 20% sales promotion. So, the correct option that matches the statement is A.

Sales promotion can be calculated by applying the values and subtracting the percentage of sales promotion from the cost of backpacks and comparing such values.

Sales promotion

• Sales promotion is a technique which is used to drive and grow the sales of a business in order to gain more customer base and promoting the brand of the business.

• The sales promotion can be calculated as using the formula given below,

• $\rm Discounted\ Cost= {Actual\ cost}-{Percentage\ Of\ Sales\ Promotion}$

• Now we will put the values given to us in both the costs of the backpacks and the sales promotion with values as $45 with 20% discount and $42 with 10% discount respectively.

• $\rm Discounted\ Value\ Of \ Backpack\ 1= \ 45-20\%\\\\\\\rm Discounted\ Value\ Of \ Backpack\ 1=\ 36$

• Now calculating the cost of backpack 2,

• $\rm Discounted\ Value\ Of\ Backpack\ 2= \ 42-10\%\\\\\\\rm Discounted\ Value\ Of\ Backpack\ 2=\ 37.8$

• Now we can compare the cost saved by Briana by comparing the rates of the two backpacks as under.

• $\rm Cost\ Saved\ By\ Briana= Backpack\ 2- Backpack\ 1\\\\\\\rm Cost\ Saved\ By\ Briana= \ 37.8-\ 36\\\\\\\rm Cost\ Saved\ By\ Briana= \ 1.8$

• So we can conclude that Briana was able to save $1.8 from such sales promotions being offered on the two backpacks.

Hence, the correct option is A that the total savings of Briana by purchasing such backpack costing $45 were $1.8.
