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 =

$1-\frac{5}{22}=\frac{22}{22}-\frac{5}{22}=\frac{22-5}{22}=\frac{17}{22}$

So, the net price will be :

$\frac{17}{22}\times85.49=66.06$

So, the answer to the nearest cent = $66.06
