Question

A school district signs a contract to purchase 50 of the electric typewriters (normally selling for $129.95) from ABC at a quantity discount of 18%. What price does the school district pay for each typewriter?

Answer 1

The price the school district pays for each typewriter is $106.56.

What is the price for each typewriter?

A quantity discount is the discount given for bulk purchases. It reduces the purchase price of a good or service.

Total purchase price of the typewriters before the discount = (50 x 129.95) = 6,497.50

Total purchase price of the typewriters after the discount = (100 - 18) x 6,497.50

= $5,327.95

Purchase price of one typewriter = $5,327.95 / 50 = $106.56
